Redifagi--Vintage 1999
Tuscany. Tua Rita
Tasting Note: The 250-case cuvee of 100 Merlot, the 1999 Redigaffi, has an astonishing 36 grams per liter of dry extract, which exceeds most top Pomerols in a great vintage! Unfined and unfiltered, it is as close to perfection as a wine can get. The color is a deep saturated Blue/purple. The powerful, pure nose offers smoke, licorice, black cherry, and blackberries. The most structured of this trio, it boasts awesome concentration, a fabulously dense, viscous mid-section, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. I'm tempted to say this is the Pétrus of Tuscany, but the only recent vintages of Pétrus that have scored this high have been 1989, 1990 and 1998! This is riveting juice. Maturity now-2015. Noted 99.
