The 1999 Solaia is packed with fruit but its intensity drops off a bitt on the mid-palate. Despite the wine’s sweetness, the 1999 remains a surprisingly austere Solaia and in this vintage Tignanello offers better balance.
Dark in color, with intense aromas of blackberries and fresh herbs, such as basil, with a hint of eucalyptus. Full-bodied, with extremely well-polished tannins and a long, long finish. A tight and racy young wine that needs time to come into its own. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese.
