Parker about Redigaffi 2014
Of the wines tasted in this historic retrospective, this is the bottle that most surprised and delighted me. The Tua Rita 2014 Redigaffi is a real showstopper with an assembly of fresh and especially aromatic fruit and floral details. The wine is medium lean in consistency, as you might expect from one of the coolest (and wettest) vintages that coastal Tuscany has seen in our lifetimes. There is wild cherry, cranberry, violet, lavender, mint, white pepper, dried spice and the list could go on. I'm giving it a higher score than I gave on the occasion of my first tasting many years ago.
Suckling over Redigaffi 2014
There's a spicy edge here, with aromas of grilled plums, herbs, soy, black truffles and olives. Full-bodied with firm, lightly grainy tannins. Saline, then evolves to coffee. Toasty and flavorful finish. 100% merlot. Drink now or hold.
