1997 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT USA old style Napa Cabernet Sauvignon"Top echelon, with a stunning purity and depth of layered fruit both sensuous and intellectually appealing. The dark cherry and plum core is oak enveloped with rarely seen seamlessness, while the big but supple mouthfeel belies the wines profound power and structure. A classic effort marked by perfect fruit to acid balance, firm, refined tannins and a seemingly endless finish." 97 100 Wine Enthusiast
