The scores for 2004 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana - The Wine Advocate - 96, Wine Spectator - 96, Wine Enthusiast - 96. The rating for 2004 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The thrilling 2004 Solaia (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc) is clearly one of the highlights of this great vintage. Endowed with massive amounts of concentration as well as structure, it is a big, powerful Solaia that does not sacrifice elegance or balance in its full-bodied personality. Packed with the essence of blackberries, chocolate, tar, smoke, cassis and menthol, this layered beauty exhibits great length and a persistent, warmly alcoholic finish. It has been stunning on the three occasions I have had it so far and is not to be missed. The scores for 2005 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana - Wine Spectator - 97. The rating 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. The scores for 2006 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana - Wine Spectator - 97, Wine Enthusiast - 95. The rating for 2006 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana is 94 points 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. The scores for 2007 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana - Decanter - 98, Vinous - 97, The Wine Advocate - 97, Wine Spectator - 97, James Suckling - 97, The Wine Independent - 97.
