93 Robert Parker
Solaia has been one of Italy's most brilliant wines since the early eighties. Made in a Bordeaux-like style, it will age for two decades or more. The 1998, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, and 5% Cabernet Franc (8,000 cases), was aged for 14 months in new and one-year old French oak casks prior to being bottled without filtration. Yields were a low 30 hectoliters per hectare. The 1998 is a classically-structured, dense, full-bodied, youthful, well-balanced wine designed for cellaring. Its opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic bouquet of black currants, vanillin, earth, tobacco, and a touch of mint. Full-bodied, moderately tannic, dense, and concentrated, this backward 1998 needs 3-4 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.

Rich aromas of smoke, sage and ripe fruit follow to a full-bodied palate, with big, velvety, chewy tannins and a long, mouthpuckering finish. This needs time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese. Best after 2005. 7,000 cases made. ?JS

Antinori - Tenuta Tignanello
La genèse de Tignanello – pour beaucoup le premier Super Toscan – remonte à 1971 et s’appuie encore aujourd’hui sur un assemblage originel de cabernet-sauvignon et de sangiovese. Niché dans les collines pittoresques entre les vallées des rivières Greve et Pesa, ce domaine de 350 hectares compte 147 hectares de vignes réparties sur l’aire d’appellation de Chianti Classico. Depuis le milieu du 19ème siècle, plus que toute autre, cette propriété mythique est restée fidèle aux valeurs de la famille Antinori : assurer l’union entre la tradition et la modernité à travers des vins authentiques qui symbolisent leur terroir. Protagoniste des vins toscans, Piero Antinori s’est fait remarquer par ses innovations et ses expérimentations sur le terrain. Il dirige le groupe Marchesi Antinori, secondé par ses trois filles. Tignanello est le berceau de deux vins les plus influents de tous les temps : le fleuron de la gamme, Solaia, et le premier Super Toscan, Tignanello. Ces deux cuvées emblématiques portent la signature Antinori en matière de qualité ; ils sont à la fois vifs et complexes et révèlent sans nul doute la présence de ce terroir unique.
