98 Colin Hay - The Drinks Business

A wine of richness and classical depth, opening with aromas of sweet spice, dark berry and stone fruits, delicate dried florals, patchouli, violet, and an authentically Italian saline character. On the palate, it shows dynamic, tactile tannins that begin soft and spherical but develop a granularity guiding the fruit across the mid-palate, underpinned by an iron-tinged, slightly bloody richness that firmly places it in Tuscany. Hay emphasizes the vintage character, calling it a very “solaire” or sunny expression of Solaia, yet remarkably balanced with its lower 13.5% alcohol content, the first time in a decade it has fallen below 14%, ultimately finding it a deeply impressive and expressive wine of the vintage.

More elegant than powerful and more approachable than usual, with stunning concentration and complexity. Aromas of subtle cassis, toast, herbs and a refreshing balsamic touch. Firm on the palate, with a full body, velvety texture and moderate acidity but not at the expense of its great balance. Sleek, polished aftertaste with sweet tobacco flavors. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

98 James Button - Decanter Magazine

The drought and heat of 2022 pushed vines in Tuscany to their limits, and the outcome in many cases are wines of density and concentration but with a vein of freshness – and that's exactly what we see here in the 2022 Solaia. It opens with cool aromas of damp earth, woodland berries, red fruit coulis and a waft of balsamic herbs. In the mouth it is immediately very fleshy, almost voluptuous but holding its shape. Balsam-infused black cherry and dark berries are deepened by chocolatey wood, while succulent acidity brings out the top end and leads to a long, bright, energetic and fresh finish which is full of promise for the future.

Blueberry, black currant, eucalyptus and lavender aromas delicately waft out of the glass on the stunning 2022 Solaia along with whiffs dark spice. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignion, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Sangiovese, the structured, linear and savory palate delivers ripe black cherry, raspberry, red currant and layers of dark exotic spice accompanied by taut, close-grained that give the finish some grip. Drink 2027–2037.

96 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

Antinori’s 2022 Solaia opens with scents of graphite, lavender, espresso, menthol, plum and blackberry. Cabernet Sauvignon is so magical here, especially in its aromatic profile. Deep and layered on the palate, but in the mid-weight style of the year, the 2022 impresses with its poise and long, resonant finish. The 2022 is not a big wine, but it exudes striking balance. Its persistence is especially of note. Solaia is a highlight in a vintage that has plenty of ups and downs. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Sangiovese, a bit less Sangiovese than in most years.

This has power and poise, with garrigue, plum, licorice and raspberry expertly framed by a lot of mineral energy and graphite shavings. Refined and pure, with integration from start to finish. Some finely cut tannins maintain the focus and form. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now through 2035. 2,350 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Fabulous white with subtle pineapple, stone, white peaches and apples, in an al-dente sense. Picked just at the right time. Medium-bodied with a dense center-palate and a wonderful, seemingly endless finish. Drink or hold.

89 Wine Enthusiast

This is a ripe wine with a cool streak. It has freshness while also having a creamy texture and fragrant white fruits. The wine's acidity and crispness show at the end. Drink now.

95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Beautiful clarity with layers of roses, pink peppercorns, sandalwood and cherry stones, interlaced with hints of chocolate and walnuts. It’s medium-bodied, in line with the vintage, with sleek and tight-grained tannins. Refined Clos Vougeot. Try from 2024.

"The NV Brut Rosé Grand Cru is a knockout. Rich and explosive, the Rosé literally races out of the glass. Readers will find a heady, voluptuous Champagne with gorgeous curves and tons of sheer appeal. Gatinois does excel with Rosé. This is a fine showing. Disgorged: April, 2020."

90 Wine Spectator

"Hints of slivered almond and pastry dough impart a subtle leesy edge to the flavors of poached peach and white cherry fruit, grated ginger and chalk found in this lip-smacking rosé Champagne with a lively bead. Disgorged June 2018. Drink now through 2023. 1,500 cases made, 75 cases imported."

The 2023 Riesling Dry blends fruit from all the vineyard blocks, comprising 45 to 50 different picks, and is the largest production wine at Wiemer. It offers a very perfumed nose that slinks from the glass with sweet jasmine, honeysuckle, orange peel and white pepper. This is a wine built more on round, ripe fruit than varietal acidity, making it very approachable and, dare I say, crushable. At $22 a bottle, it's hard to go wrong.

"Entirely sourced from the high elevation ‘XL Vineyard’ in the Walla Walla Valley, the 2015 ‘Fianchetto’ was aged in 60% new French oak for 30 months and also saw two years of bottle age before release. The flavor density is outstanding considering the challenges that presented themselves in this exceedingly warm vintage, as ripe dark currants collide with cherry cordial, Earl Grey tea and exotic spices on the palate. Super refined and elegant, this has a long way to go. Drink 2021-2033"

92 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

"Dark red-ruby. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, dark raspberry, licorice and bitter chocolate complemented by sexy spicy oak tones. Fine-grained, very ripe and classically dry, combining serious alcoholic clout and surprising energy. Plush, concentrated red berry flavors are lifted by a floral element that's rare for such a ripe Bordeaux blend. This powerful wine finishes with broad, dusty tannins and serious sweetness. Constant wind at this site typically results in small, thick-skinned berries, and Naravane noted that the tannins here can easily get out of whack. He presses the wine before it's fully dry and allows the fermentation to finish in barrels. (15.3% alcohol; aged for 28 months in 80% new Tronçais oak; from SeVein vineyards)"

Super-vibrant nose of green apples, lime and yellow grapefruit zest plus a touch of fresh garden herbs. Very sleek with a grapefruit acidity that some may find challenging, but which really excites us, because it’s wedded to plenty of zesty fruit. Makes just 10.5% alcohol work really well. Drink or hold.
