These bottles are from the cellar of a long time licensee (restaurant) in Eastern Canada. They were acquired on release from the agent and immediately stored in the restaurant's environmentally controlled cellar until coming to Iron Gate.
The score for 2005 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2005 Solaia is elegant and refined, yet it remains incredibly primary. Still, it is hard not to admire the wine’s layered expression of blue and black fruits. The oak remains prominent, but I am confident the wine will come together with bottle age. The Solaia vineyard is one of the most unique terroirs in Italy, and the wine has a track record of developing beautifully in bottle, even in smaller vintages. It will be fascinating to follow this Solaia as it matures.
