2018 Solaia
Description
There is a magical infinity, a continuous loop of compatibilities, between the icon wines of Tuscany and the 2015 vintage. The stunning 2015 Solaia is solid evidence of this perfect alignment. This was a warm vintage that shows less favorably in my opinion in different parts of Italy and with other grapes that render their most elegant performances in the cooler vintages. I would put pure expressions of Nebbiolo and Sangiovese in this category. However, Tuscany and many of her great blended reds (made partially or fully with international grapes) operate according to a different logic. To me, their maximum expression comes when you can taste that Tuscan sunshine beaming from within. Its rays are brilliant and warm. They shine across the senses with opulence and intensity.

Tasting note
2018年的蘇拉亞托斯卡納IGT展現了釀酒藝術的精髓。這款托斯卡納的瑰寶，擁有濃郁的紅寶石色澤，散發出成熟黑醋栗和藍莓的香氣，並帶有乾花、薰衣草的微妙香味，以及白胡椒和薄荷的輕盈辛香。口感上，葡萄酒帶有葡萄乾、甘草和摩卡的風味，絲絨般的單寧為其提供了柔滑而豐潤的質感。餘韻優雅而持久，留下淡淡的甘草香。建議醒酒兩小時以充分展現其複雜性，搭配烤牛排或烤羊肉等濃郁菜餚，將帶來難忘的用餐體驗。
The 2018 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT is a testament to the art of winemaking. This Tuscan gem, with its intense ruby red hue, unfolds a bouquet of dark ripe fruits, notably blueberries and black currants, interwoven with hints of dried flowers, lavender, and a touch of white pepper and mint. The palate is embraced by flavors of raisin, licorice, and mocha, while the velvety tannins provide a smooth and creamy texture. The finish is elegant and lengthy, leaving a lingering note of licorice. Decant for two hours to fully appreciate its complexity and pair it with robust dishes like grilled steak or roasted lamb for an unforgettable dining experience.
