“Antinori’s 2021 Solaia is another wine that reflects all the potential I sensed when I tasted it a few months ago. More than anything else, the 2021 is a fine example of the style Antinori has been favoring lately—an approach that prioritizes finesse over opulence. Aromas of black plum, mocha, licorice, chocolate, spices, lavender, and menthol unfold naturally in the glass. The oak and tannins are perfectly balanced.

About the wine:
Antinori’s 2021 Solaia is another wine that reflects all the potential I sensed when I tasted it a few months ago. More than anything else, the 2021 is a fine example of the style Antinori has been favoring lately—an approach that prioritizes finesse over opulence. Aromas of black plum, mocha, licorice, chocolate, spices, lavender, and menthol unfold naturally in the glass. The oak and tannins are perfectly balanced. The 2021 spent 18 months in barrels—three months in once-used barrels during malolactic fermentation, followed by 15 months in 100% new barrels for the remainder of its aging. 2027–2051

About the wine:
Sophisticated and full of finesse. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with elegant, very silky tannins that linger for several minutes. Blackberries and blackcurrants with notes of graphite and pencil lead. Such beautiful tannins. Elegant and refined. Best enjoyed in five or six years.
Falstaff
Wine rated (2025 guide) 100/100
About the wine:
A deep, intense ruby color with violet highlights. The nose is slightly smoky at first, then rich with aromas of blueberry and blackcurrant, offering a lovely flavor profile with resinous notes. The palate is full-bodied and very supple throughout the tasting, revealing fine, wonderfully integrated tannins, a beautiful texture, and juiciness, with a creamy finish featuring notes of smoke and tobacco that lingers for a long time.
