Antinori, Solaia, 2001(6 bottles @ $216.00 per bottle)
96 Points. "The 2001 Solaia, far superior to the overrated 1997 (to which I also prefer the 1999 and 1994) is a classic example of central Tuscan Cabernet at its best, ruby-purple in color, warm and explosive in its expression of black currant fruit, tobacco, tar, and graphite, superbly concentrated and dense on the palate but balanced and shapely at the same time and with a noble austerity and grip on the finish which resembles the best of Bordeaux. The wine is a sure bet for another two decades of superb drinking." Wine Advocate # 167, Oct 2006

90 Points. "Shows clean blueberry pie and floral aromas and flavors on a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a tight finish. Clean and carefully constructed. Balanced and long. Best after 2010. 55,000 cases made." Wine Spectator May 2008.

93 Points. "The opulent 2003 Ornellaia (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot) presents a dramatic contrast to the 2004 in its super-ripe, open nose and jammy dark fruit. Ample and warm on the palate, it is clearly the product of a very hot vintage, yet it shows notable freshness along with much persistence, great overall balance and a lingering note of sweetness on the finish. 93/Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018."
