Marchesi Antinori Solaia 2016
Purity and majesty. The 2016 vintage opens with disarming aromatic precision: blackcurrant, morello cherry, and wild mint intertwine with notes of cocoa, graphite, and white pepper. On the palate, it is dense and deep, yet possessed of a vibrant tension that keeps it agile. The tannins are pure velvet, leading to a saline and endless finish.
