2018 Redigaffi 7, Tua Rita, Tuscany, Italy

Description

This is a precious release of just 411 magnums. The Tua Rita 2018 Redigaffi 7 Magnum represents the second edition of a wine that was only ever made before in 2013. The exact DNA of the wine is shrouded in mystery, as 2,700 vines were planted in 1988 and the clones used have never been fully identified. These especially concentrated clusters of Merlot have produced an ambitious wine of soaring intensity and lasting power. The bouquet reveals pressed blackberry and cherry liqueur with spice, leather and cured tobacco. The wine is explosive and opulent, and it will surely delivers lots of pleasure and comfort to the few of us lucky enough to taste it.

Drink 2024 - 2050

Critics reviews

Bruce Sanderson 93/100
Intense aromas and flavors of black currant, blackberry, violet and resinous oak highlight this fluid yet firmly structured red, which is long, with a vanilla- and toast-tinged aftertaste. Shows fine balance, with a youthful freshness. Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2036. 1,100 cases made, 80 cases imported.Bruce Sanderson, Senior Editor at Wine Spectator (October 2021)

James Suckling 98/100
Aromas of walnuts and bark with some toasted oak and red fruit. Tapenade and violets, too. Changes all the time. This is full-bodied with lots of richness and concentration. Impressive weight and density. Takes no prisoners, but maintains freshness.Best after 2026james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (July 2022)
