Wine Enthusiast: 96 points. "The 2004 Solaia is dense and concentrated with loads of character and defining aromatics: plump blackberry, chocolate fudge, exotic spice, peppercorn, and smooth balsam notes. The real pleasure comes in the mouth where it delivers smooth elegance and an extra-long finish."
