Antinori's 2021 Solaia is another wine that reflects all the potential I saw when I tasted it a few months ago. More than anything else, the 2021 is a fine example of the style favored by Antinori in recent years, an approach that emphasizes finesse over opulence. Aromas of black plum, mocha, licorice, chocolate, spices, lavender, and menthol develop naturally in the glass. The oak and tannins are perfectly balanced.

About wine:
Antinori's Solaia 2021 is another wine that reflects all the potential I perceived when I tasted it a few months ago. More than anything else, the 2021 is a fine example of the style favored by Antinori in recent years, an approach that emphasizes finesse over opulence. Aromas of black plum, mocha, licorice, chocolate, spices, lavender, and menthol develop naturally in the glass. The oak and tannins are perfectly balanced. The 2021 spent 18 months in barrels, three months in barrels used once during malolactic fermentation, then 15 months in 100% new barrels for the remainder of its aging. 2027-2051
James Suckling
Wine rated (2024 guide) 98/100
About wine:
Sophisticated and full of finesse. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with racy, very silky tannins that linger for several minutes. Blackberries and blackcurrants with notes of graphite and pencil lead. Such beautiful tannins. Racy and refined. Drink in five or six years.
Falstaff
Wine rated (2025 guide) 100/100
About wine:
Intense, deep ruby color with purple highlights. Slightly smoky on the nose at first, then rich in blueberry and blackcurrant aromas, with a beautiful flavor and resinous notes. Full-bodied and very supple on the palate throughout, revealing fine, wonderfully integrated tannins, a beautiful texture and juice, and a creamy finish with notes of smoke and tobacco that lingers for a long time.
