Description

2004 "Solaia" Toscana IGT,
Marchesi Antinori

Marchesi Antinori:
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc und manchmal ein kleiner Anteil von Petit Verdot, um Eleganz, Komplexität und Strukur des Terroirs von Bolgheri auszudrücken. Guado al Tasso wird seit 1990 produziert; die Tonsand- bis Tonschluff-Böden der Weinberge sind alluvialen Ursprungs mit Bolgherese-Agglomerat (Skelett).

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The thrilling 2004 Solaia (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc) is clearly one of the highlights of this great vintage. Endowed with massive amounts of concentration as well as structure, it is a big, powerful Solaia that does not sacrifice elegance or balance in its full-bodied personality. Packed with the essence of blackberries, chocolate, tar, smoke, cassis and menthol, this layered beauty exhibits great length and a persistent, warmly alcoholic finish. It has been stunning on the three occasions I have had it so far and is not to be missed. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2024. 

Wine Enthusiast: 
The 2004 Solaia is dense and concentrated with loads of character and defining aromatics: plump blackberry, chocolate fudge, exotic spice, peppercorn and smooth balsam notes. The real pleasure comes in the mouth where it delivers smooth elegance and an extra long finish.

Wine Spectator
The 2004 Solaia is shows beautiful, complex aromas of flowers, currant and Christmas cake. Full-bodied, chewy and powerful. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc.
