A Toronto based consignor who became interested in wine after spending 6 months in France many years ago. Their affection for very nice bottles grew over time and they started collecting in the early 2000’s. They began with Bordeaux futures, and then moved more heavily towards California as well as Italy. The wines were mainly sourced from the LCBO/Vintages, and through several wine agents over the years. The wine was stored offsite, some at Iron Gate, and then moved to their home wine cellar.
The score for 2006 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana is 94 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The estate’s 2006 Solaia is a big, powerful offering loaded with ripe blackberry jam, herbs, minerals and French oak. Like all of the 2006s from Antinori, the Solaia remains extraordinarily dense and primary. Readers will have to be patient with this wine and give it plenty of bottle age before the full range of its aromas and nuances blossom fully. Solaia is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc. From top to bottom this is a beautiful set of wines from Antinori. The estate’s 2006 Guado al Tasso, Tignanello and Solaia are all beautiful, even if they don’t appear to possess the elegance of the superb 2004s.
