James Button - Solaia sings in 2023. It's supremely vertical with already-integrated sandy tannins, its tall frame adorned with crunchy, sapid forest berries, chocolate, menthol, iodine and floral top notes. Generous and finessed, it's drinking surprisingly well at this early stage and will continue to prosper for the next two decades at least.

The 2023 Solaia has gained a measure of weight since I first tasted it a few months ago. Inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, blackberry, graphite and dried herbs soar from the glass. Cabernet Sauvignon speaks with notable eloquence and character. There's gorgeous purity and restraint here.

A big Solaia with lots of fruit and spices as well as mint and spearmint. Aromatic. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Muscular and juicy for a modern Solaia. Needs three to four years of age to come together. Best after 2028.

This racy, light-bodied riesling has fabulous juiciness. I love the zesty pink grapefruit and blood orange flavors that make this such a joyful wine. Very long, expressive finish. A cuvee of wines from the Bohlig and Konigswingert sites that were wild-fermented. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

"A fruit-conscious Rioja reserva with flowers, plums and bramble berries. Rich and deep, with restrained oak spices and a touch of minerals. Excellent fruit quality, with fine-grained tannins and a long, bright finish. Drink or hold." -Zekun Shuai

93 Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2020 Reserva Única comes from the COVID-19 (and mildew) year and tries to combine the primary character with the complexity of the older wines. It's mostly from one vineyard that has some Graciano (maybe 3%) that always gives the wine an aromatic and fresh kick. It comes through as very balanced. It started a little closed and shy and took time to open up in the glass. Again, the 2020 in Rioja has less body and clout than 2021, the wines are finer-boned and the tannins have some grip. This matured in a combination of French (60%) and American (40%) oak barrels for two years, but the oak is very integrated and folded into the fruit. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023."

92 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

"The 2020 Reserva Única Sierra Cantabria is 97% Tempranillo and 3% Graciano from Labastida. Aged 24 months in 60% French and 40% American oak, 15% of it new, it offers red fruit, cherry, new oak and a vinous profile on the nose. In the mouth, it's smooth and slightly caramelized, with gentle tannins and a fruit-driven style. The 2020 is a modern Reserva with clarity and expression."
