The first two bottles I tasted of the 1999 Solaia were corked, but the third was brilliant. Its black/purple color is followed by a sumptuous bouquet of licorice, blackberries, mint, and cassis, all presented in a concentrated, medium to full-bodied, dense yet elegant style. Although still young, it is undoubtedly the qualitative equivalent of a Bordeaux first or second growth. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016. Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (800) 358-6002

這款葡萄酒顏色深濃，散發(fā)著濃郁的黑莓和新鮮藥草（如蘭香草）的香氣，伴有淡淡的桉樹香。該酒酒體豐滿，單寧柔順，余味悠長(zhǎng)，美味可口。這款酒現(xiàn)在還非常年輕，風(fēng)格含蓄，刺激性稍強(qiáng)，需要時(shí)間積淀來充分展現(xiàn)其迷人魅力。該酒由 Cabernet Franc、Cabernet Sauvignon 和 Sangiovese 這三種葡萄混釀而成，在 2005 年之后飲用最佳。產(chǎn)量：7,000 箱。
