Tua Rita Redigaffi

98/100 PP The 2013 Redigaffi is a masterpiece from Coastal Tuscany. This is a phenomenal Merlot that offers so much intensity and generosity. These traits don't come easy and great risk is taken to give the grapes as much time as needed to ripen on the vines before harvest. Aromas of dark cherry, spice, wet earth and grilled herb are developed with stunning focus and precision. This is a thickly layered wine that literally sticks to your gums with gripping presence and ample power. The alcohol is is high and so is the dry extract, but both elements are well balanced and integrated. Ultimately, more importance is given to the complexity of the bouquet and it's fluid, ever-changing behavior. This wine just begs to be consumed, but bigger rewards await those who have the patience to wait. Don't miss this beauty. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com) 99/100 Falstaff Funkelndes, intensives Rubin mit leicht aufhellendem Rand. Sehr klare und intensive Frucht, sehr kühl und klar, dunkle Frucht. Am Gaumen sehr jung, intensive dunkelbeerige Frucht. Schlägt am Gaumen ein Pfauenrad, trumpft groß auf, viel dichtmaschiges Tannin, balsamische Noten im Finale, sehr langer Nachhall, tief und mit feiner Extraktsüße.
