97 Wine Spectator
Dark ruby red color. Currant, Christmas cake, mint and spices. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. This is balanced and refined. It's layered and beautiful. This is still tight and not giving much. A few more years will yield a lot. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese.--1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best after 2009. 7,000 cases made. JS

Gorgeous. Shows alluring aromas and flavors of currants and raspberries with hints of balsamic and mint. Full and round in the mouth. So youthful still. Just a baby. Drink or hold.

Parker: The unfiltered 1997 Solaia (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, and 5% Cabernet Franc, from a single 25-acre vineyard) is aged in 100% new French oak. There are 8,000 cases of the 1997. The sensational, opaque blue/purple-colored 1997 exhibits a complex nose of cedar, spice box, cassis, and subtle oak. With yields of only 30 hectoliters per hectare, and malolactic fermentation in barrel (a la Tignanello), this wine reveals extraordinary concentration, a thick, viscous texture, yet no sense of heaviness or ponderousness. It is a thrilling Solaia to consume over the next two decades. If a first-growth Pauillac were made in Tuscany, this would be it! Galloni: The 1997 Solaia is awesome. Sweet, open aromatics lead to a rich, full-bodied expression of dark cherries, plums, menthol and spices. This sensual, full-bodied wine remains youthful and full of life. The 1997 is a great Solaia. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2017.

Antinori - Tenuta Tignanello
Il Tignanello, per molti il Super-Tuscan originale, fu realizzato per la prima volta nel 1971 e da allora è rimasto un assemblaggio di Cabernet Sauvignon e Sangiovese. La tenuta di 350 ettari si trova sulle pittoresche colline tra la Val di Greve e la Val di Pesa, con 147 ettari di vigneti distribuiti nella denominazione Chianti Classico. Dalla metà del 1800 questa tenuta leggendaria, molto più di altre, ha espresso i valori della famiglia Antinori: mostrare il legame tra tradizione e modernità con vini autentici e caratterizzati dalle loro origini. Oggi la figura di spicco dei vini toscani, Piero Antinori, noto per le sue innovazioni e gli esperimenti nel settore, gestisce il gruppo Marchesi Antinori con le sue tre figlie. Tignanello produce due dei vini più influenti mai creati: il simbolo della famiglia, il Solaia, e il primo Super-Tuscan, il Tignanello. Questi due vini emblematici sono caratterizzati dalla qualità della firma di Antinori, sono intensi e complessi ed esprimono chiaramente la presenza di questo terroir unico.
