Tasting Notes
The 2020 Solaia is a wonderfully rich, concentrated, decadent Cabernet Sauvignon. The perfect marriage of high-quality oak and Cabernet is never clearer than in this wine. The smoky, savoury oak tones on the nose are beautiful. The wine has wonderful vertical depth and lovely fruit purity. The tannins are smooth and integrated and give a lovely drive to the palate. Its precise, clinical and veers away from plusher styles of Italian Cabernet. There is finesse too and floral tones that hang over the cassis fruit adding nuance and lift.
