Parker über Solaia Magnum 1998
Solaia has been one of Italy's most brilliant wines since the early eighties. Made in a Bordeaux-like style, it will age for two decades or more. The 1998, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, and 5% Cabernet Franc (8,000 cases), was aged for 14 months in new and one-year old French oak casks prior to being bottled without filtration. Yields were a low 30 hectoliters per hectare. The 1998 is a classically-structured, dense, full-bodied, youthful, well-balanced wine designed for cellaring. Its opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic bouquet of black currants, vanilla, earth, tobacco, and a touch of mint. Full-bodied, moderately tannic, dense, and concentrated, this backward 1998 needs 3-4 years of cellaring.

Solaia Magnum 1998
The Solaia 1998 is wrongly overshadowed by the better-known 1997, because it can hardly be surpassed in terms of elegance and refinement. The use of wood was more moderate here and this offers the fruit and the terroir more space to develop. A long-lived Solaia that is now in full bloom.
