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... 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... Indeed, the wine feels glossy, tonic and fresh. It is composed of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese and a tiny part Cabernet Franc... This wine is meticulously executed, and the 2015 vintage lives up to an ideal of what we imagine Solaia to be... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2015 Solaia hasn’t moved much since I tasted it last year. In the glass, the 2015 is surprisingly fresh and vibrant for the vintage. Blackberry jam, blood orange, chocolate, licorice, cloves, lavender and menthol are all woven together, but the 2015 needs time to show the full breadth of its beauty, as there is a ton going on here.

Deep, dark ruby coloration. Almost black. On the nose, dark cherry, blueberry, blackberry, currant, tobacco and florals. On the palate, nice body, initial bitterness with black current/licorice followed by a long finish of chocolate, forever, and hints of mint. Nicely balanced tannins. Outstanding wine.
