Score 92/100 · Drink 2006-2020, Robert Parker, Dec 2002

The opaque purple-colored 1997 Solare is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera aged two years in French oak. Scents of licorice, black currants, new saddle leather, spice box, and cedar are followed by a dense wine of great intensity, richness, purity, and precision. This backward 1997 requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020. This is a formidable offering for patient connoisseurs. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
