Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Sep 20
One of the highlights in the evening, the 2004 Solaia (magnum) is the first wine that represents a move towards more finesse and elegance. There is plenty of explosive richness, but the 2004 is also incredibly nuanced. Graphite, licorice, leather and layers of dark fruit build in a powerful yet incredibly refined Solaia. The 2004 is such a beautiful wine.

Jancis Robinson Richard Hemming - 01 Oct 19
Quite Pinotesque in comparison with other vintages, showing truffle, red fruit and herbs. On the palate, the firm tannins are more like Nebbiolo. Heady, raw, hot finish. Wild and rugged. Characterful but not so self-assured as the 2015 and 2009. (RH)
