The unfiltered 1997 Solaia (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, and 5% Cabernet Franc, from a single 25-acre vineyard) is aged in 100% new French oak. There are 8,000 cases of the 1997. The sensational, opaque blue/purple-colored 1997 exhibits a complex nose of cedar, spice box, cassis, and subtle oak. With yields of only 30 hectoliters per hectare, and malolactic fermentation in barrel (a la Tignanello), this wine reveals extraordinary concentration, a thick, viscous texture, yet no sense of heaviness or ponderousness. It is a thrilling Solaia to consume over the next two decades. If a first-growth Pauillac were made in Tuscany, this would be it! Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (212) 399-0200

這款葡萄酒呈深紅寶石色，帶有醋栗、圣誕蛋糕、薄荷和香料的味道，酒體豐滿，單寧異常柔順，余味悠長。該酒層次豐富，典雅迷人，平衡性極佳。目前該酒還比較內(nèi)斂，其魅力還沒有充分釋放，幾年之后這款酒會更加誘人。這款葡萄酒由 Cabernet Sauvignon 和 Sangiovese 混釀而成，在 2009 年之后飲用最佳。產(chǎn)量：7,000 箱。

這款葡萄酒堪稱酒中之王，其品質(zhì)純正，果味層次豐富，無處不散發(fā)著誘人魅力。該酒的風(fēng)味中帶有成熟櫻桃和李子的味道，同橡木味完融合得天衣無縫；高酸度、高單寧的特性并沒有讓該酒的口感粗糙，相反其口感卻異常柔和，可謂鬼斧神工之妙。這款酒的經(jīng)典之處在于其果香同酸味的完美平衡，在于其緊實卻又柔順的單寧，在于其綿延不絕的余味。評分：97。
