Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94
The 1999 Solaia is packed with fruit but its intensity drops off a bitt on the mid-palate. Despite the wine’s sweetness, the 1999 remains a surprisingly austere Solaia and in this vintage Tignanello offers better balance. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.

Vinous 96
Our third flight kicks off with the 1999 Solaia. Still a powerhouse, the 1999 (magnum) packs a serious punch. Dark macerated cherry, espresso, chocolate, licorice and blackberry jam infuse the 1999 with so much character. The 1999 is very much a product of its era, a time when heavy extraction and a search for concentration ruled the day. Even so, it has aged impeccably.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034
