Product Description

JS97 Distinct aromas of tar and pencil lead underneath ripe black cherries, damson plums and sweet blackberries. This is a Redigaffi with lots of character and evolving flavors. Fresh and ripe, sweet and savory, with firm, fine tannins and bright acidity. 100% merlot.

DR96 The 2004 vintage had a very well balanced weather pattern and, according to Tua Rita, this created 'a wine characterised by sweet fruit and smooth tannins with good acidity and substantial structure'. I have to agree! With the 2004, Redigaffi has taken a big step forward in quality. There's more lightness, fragrance and transparency on the nose, with beautiful dark fruits such as blackberry and black plums. It becomes more fragrant with time, displaying wildflower, lilac and lavender scents. There's a lovely lingering finish and the tannins feel elongated, savoury and very refined. A beautifully balanced wine. 2022
