2000 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana RP--90

Robert Parker: 90 Points
Wine Advocate #152 Apr 2004 Daniel Thomases 90 Drink: 2005 - 2018 $125-$250 (110) The 2000 Solaia, not unexpectedly, is the best wine of the series with expansive aromas of black currants, thyme, and sage, much eucalyptus and chocolate on the palate along with ripe, sweet fruit, and a sizeable finish. Drink: 2005-2018. Are we dealing with a half-full or a half-empty glass here? Hard to say, but the competition among the bigger houses is getting tougher in Tuscany, and Antinori may have to look at its quantities in less favorable vintages. It is not clear, for instance, that the right stuff for over one hundred thousand bottles of Guado al Tasso was available in 2000.
