Antinori Solaia 2015 (Magnum 1.5L)  - First Bottle

Reviews

100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
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. The very name Solaia evokes the concept of sunshine and this unique Tuscan wine archetype I am referring to. With the 2015 vintage, Solaia is liquid sunshine not just in name but also in fact. The bouquet is immediately soft and sensual with dark fruit, spice and sweet tobacco. The mouthfeel shows intensity and power, but you don't get any heavy residue from the dry extract (measured at 33 grams per liter). Indeed, the wine feels glossy, tonic and fresh. It is composed of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese and a tiny part Cabernet Franc. There is a bit of crunch or snap that comes thanks to the more acidity-prone Sangiovese grape (the wine measures 3.5 in pH). Finally, the tannins are beautifully sweet and ripe. This wine is meticulously executed, and the 2015 vintage lives up to an ideal of what we imagine Solaia to be. It will be released about a week after this review is published. Some 80,000 bottles were produced.

*James Suckling's #1 Italian Wine of the Year, 2018* The nose to this Solaia is truly phenomenal with currants, blackberries, roses and violets. So perfumed. Full-bodied and everything is in check and harmony with polished tannins that last for minutes. Purity and focus. Is it the greatest Solaia ever? So drinkable already, but this is a wine for ages ahead. 
98 Wine Spectator -
Floral, mint and medicinal herb aromas introduce this rich, black currant-infused red. Firm and compact, with vibrant structure, youthful harmony and a lingering, fruit-, herb- and spice-tinged finish. Shows terrific balance and length, with the best yet to come. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2022 through 2038. 500 cases imported.

SOLAIA. (is that angels singing I hear?)

On the heels of the truly astounding 2015 Sassicaia comes the unquestionably brilliant Solaia. You know the story of this wine, right? Fantastic Antinori property, sourced from the best parts of the Tignanello Estate (Solaia means “sunny one”). First vintage was 1978, the blend is roughly 75% Cabernet these days, and is one of the first great Super Tuscans, of course. Our price you ask? The BEST ANYWHERE...what else would you expect from your favorite online wine slingers!

In a rockstar vintage like 2015, this is a MUST for serious collectors. The hype on this year's release is palpable and the market is gobbling up their allocations and demand is through the roof. Just read the reviews below! Wow! We are lucky to have a FEW magnums and even one 3 LITER! Needless to say, this is FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED...jump on it quick!
