Solaia 2016 is considered one of the strongest since the first vintage in 1978. Compact and dense at the start, it presents itself with lots of fleshy fruit of cassis and blackberries, underpinned by mint and dried tomatoes, with floral and spicy hints. On the palate, it has a fruity presence, spicy, complex, powerful and elegant, with dense tannins, a fine acid structure and a very long, fruity and spicy aftertaste. The firmly structured backbone is generously cushioned by the fleshy richness of its consistency. This is a great wine that will age for decades. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, rich ruby colour. Initially shows discreetly restrained notes on the nose, then clearly characterised fruit, especially cassis, some plum, followed by tobacco, compact and balanced. Dense tannins on the palate, very well integrated, fine-meshed and elegant, flows along for a long time, then again rich pressure in the final, fine tobacco notes in the aftertaste." Falstaff
"Coconut, black tea and ripe blackberries are interwoven with a fragrant herbal and earthy flavour. At the moment it is still a little tart, but the acidity is racy. The velvety soft tannins are seamlessly integrated and the finish is full-bodied." Decanter
"Aromas of cassis, warm spices and camphor characterise the nose. The lively, linear palate shows great finesse and offers cranberries, blueberries and crushed mint alongside white pepper. It is supple and balanced, with bright acidity and polished tannins." Wine Enthusiast
"This red wine begins with a light oaky note, with vanilla and resin accents that combine with the fruit flavours of black cherries and blackberries on the palate. This is all about purity and finesse, with a lively structure that blends harmoniously with the flavours. Cedar wood, iron, tobacco and fruit elements come together in the finish, which is very long, fresh and satisfying." Wine Spectator
"Solaia 2016 brings the evening to a rousing conclusion. It is a rich, explosive Solaia, endowed with tremendous depth and energy. An onslaught of black cherry, espresso, liquorice, mocha and French oak builds effortlessly. The 2016 is a great, rousing Solaia that will take years to develop. It's the kind of wine that really makes you think about the future." Vinous
"The 2016 vintage is an edgy and sharp wine with mineral nuances of bonfire ash and graphite on the edge of the dark fruit. The mouthfeel is more streamlined and taut at the core, suggesting that the wine will evolve and soften beautifully with time." Wine Advocate
"I am speechless. I thought 2015 was already perfect, but this is perfect too. But in a different way. It is so structured and multidimensional. Full-bodied, powerful and intense with incredible tannin structure and depth. The flavours of dark berries, damp earth, oyster shells and mushrooms are phenomenal. 20% less production than 2015, give it four or five years to develop." James Suckling
