Marchesi Antinori Solaia 2011 is a full-bodied Cabernet-based red wine from Tuscany and is only produced in exceptional vintages. The Solaia vineyard at 350-400m altitude is based on stony limestone soils and is located in the Tenuta Tignanello estate. "A big, rich wine but there`s lots of brightness and beauty at the same time. Shows licoricey and asphalt. Full body with chewy tannins and a long finish. Terracotta, Tuscan dust and spice; balsamic too. This needs three to five years to soften. Intense finish." James Suckling, 2014
