Dusty, licorice, blackberry & dried fruit. Almost a little port like.

This is a lovely iconic super Tuscany blend of CS and CF, it seems that in this year Sangiovese was not past of the blend.
The color is deep purple, the nose is young and fruity, full of black cherries, green herbs, mint, red current and a hint of spice, full body, with high acidity,dry green tannins, and a long delicious finish, still a baby and needs time to further develop, my score 89, drink to 2025 , perhaps longer, score might improve with time

My first bottle of the 2011 vintage, a bit early for solaia but stunning as always

First experience w this wine. Really good! Improved dramatically as the night went on and was exceptional after 2+ hours in the glass.

Fantastic. Popped from the drop and only got better over the next hour. Great balance and very smooth. Short finish but great fruit mixed well with tobacco.
