Note di degustazione
This is the second of two bottles in this Tua Rita retrospective that did not live up to expectations. Two out of 26 are darn good odds, though. The other one was the 1998. Jumping forward 10 years, the 2008 Redigaffi comes from a hot vintage, and the results are a bit flabby and heavy. This is an open-knit, loosely textured wine with dark fruit, crushed mineral and pencil shavings on the bouquet. It has lost it shape at this point in time.

The 2008 Redigaffi is impeccable in its elegance and polish. Dark cherries, licorice, espresso and mocha meld together beautifully in this textured, fleshy wine. Despite its sophisticated personality, there is plenty of tannin lurking underneath to provide support. This is a beautifully round, opulent, yet impeccably balanced wine of the highest level. Smoke, minerals, licorice and tar wrap around the intense finish. Redigaffi remains a unique and powerful expression of Merlot from the Tuscan coast.
This is a phenomenal wine with blackberries, black olives, orange, and spices on the nose and palate. It's full-bodied and super silky with a very long and rich finish, yet powerful and bright. Not heavy. It remains so intense and structured. I can’t make up my mind for the moment if I like it better than the 2007, but it could be in the long run. So long and racy. Incredible. Pure Merlot. Give it five to six years of bottle age. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
A flamboyant wine that reminds me of California, with lots of ripe berries and toasty oak. Full and opulent, with raspberry sauce and coconut oak flavors. Needs time to come together. Pure Merlot. Best after 2013. Winespectator.com
