Deep opaque purple. Vibrant smell of red berries and lavender. Full bodied but comes across as very ‘athletic’. Tannins and acidity are spot on and the wine leaves an impression of effortless presence and harmony. Impactful yet very refined. A tight rope walker, making it seem all so easy. Flirting with greatness yet so ephemeral. A wine that definitely leaves a vivid impression on your memory, like a painting. Bravo. 92+ (easily) — 19 hours ago
I think I preferred the 2015 but ever so slightly and as much as I struggle to believe glasses make a difference they poured the 2016 in a big cab glass and I think that distracted from the flavors that were evident in the tighter 2015 glass. — 15 days ago
Deep ruby coloration. No translucency. On the nose, blackberry, black cherry, plum, leather and florals. On the palate, complex and layered, with strong minerality, florals, spice, black cherry, plum and black berry with long finish of fruit and florals. Full bodied and balanced tannins. — 18 days ago
Amazing, delicious. Really brought the pineapple out in the iberico pork agnolotti — a month ago
Second bottle from this vintage. Much better experience this time. Last wasn’t bad and perhaps was just an off night/bottle. This Solaia was packing significant range and depth. The fruit was beautifully structured and was so well rounded. Seemed more mature than just 5 years. Excellent. — 4 hours ago

This 11 year old Sangiovese is still drinking nicely.
Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, light oak and chocolate notes.
Showing nice complexity, but a little unbalanced.
I definitely like it better with age.
A blend of 80% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
