Argiano Solengo 2010 (750ML)

96 AG / 93 JS

The 2010 Solengo shows the pedigree of this great vintage. Violets, tar, smoke, licorice and plums burst from the glass. Vibrantly nuanced and beautifully articulated, the 2010 impresses for its striking balance and refined, sophisticated personality. This is one of the very best Solengos I can remember tasting. The style is rich and highly expressive, but with no excess weight. In 2010, Solengo is 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 20% Merlot and 10% Syrah. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Impressive aromas of blackberries, coffee and hints of leather. Full body, with chewy tannins and an intense finish. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This is a longtime favorite. Needs two or three years to come together. James Suckling
