Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT 2018 Variant:750ML

Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT 2018 Variant:750MLReveals a silky and elegant personality. This elegant vintage prizes Fruit purity and focus with black plum, cassis, blue flower, pencil shaving and lots of sweet spice from the oak that recalls clove and toasted almond. Delicious on all fronts as expected. ROBERT PARKER 97+ POINTS
