100 Robert Parker
I fussed over scoring this wine more than I'd like to admit—tasting through three samples under different conditions at various intervals and testing my impressions blind against wines in its peer group. Most importantly, I tasted this 2016 vintage against the 2015 vintage over and over again. I confess to a few nights of restless sleep as a result. Ultimately, my decision to award 100 points to the 2016 Solaia came on impulse and with the most natural sense of purpose. I had also given the 2015 vintage a perfect score, and intellectually, it seemed impossible not to pick a favorite among these two stunning expressions. I will also state, outright, that the wines are very different, principally because the 2015 vintage shows more overall opulence and sweetness that extends to the pronounced textural richness of the mouthfeel. The 2016 vintage, on the other hand, is more chiseled and sharp with mineral shadings of campfire ash and graphite at the rim of its dark fruit. The mouthfeel is more streamlined and tight at its core, suggesting that the wine will unfold and soften beautifully with time. I feel like 2015 is the Dolce & Gabbana of the situation and the 2016 is the Armani Privé. The personalities of the two wines are distinct, yet my admiration for each is identical.<br/><br/>

This red leads off with a slight oaky edge, featuring vanilla and resin accents that meld with the black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors on the palate. This is all about purity and finesse, featuring a vibrant structure that fits harmoniously with the flavors. Cedar, iron, tobacco and fruit elements converge on the finish, which is very long, fresh and satisfying. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2040.

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.
