Plum, cherry, black currant, cedar, vanilla and toast flavors highlight this plush, flashy red, which is dense, needing time to absorb the oak, yet remains smooth in texture, building to the saturated finish. A hedonistic style. Merlot.
This is a vintage that I truly loved, and I'm so happy to come back to it now. The 2013 Redigaffi benefitted from a long growing season with a late harvest that started past the first week of September. Today, the wine is fresh and vibrant with sweet cherry concentration, a minty note, dried flower and tart cassis or dried cranberry. You get the sense that this wine still has a lot to give over the course of its future evolution. I think the long growing cycle gives a lot in terms of complexity, depth and mouthfeel.
This has perfumed notes of rose petals, sandalwood, blackberries, thyme, peppercorns and slate. Lovely, supple and soft texture, yet firm in tannin structure. Flavorful and layered. Grilled-herb and espresso notes come through at the end. Fantastic length, too. 100% merlot.
