This parcel of wine and spirits was brought to us by a long-time aficionado, who began collecting wine in 1981. His interest in collecting began during his career, where every successful business closure was celebrated with fine wine. His wines and spirits were purchased through the SAQ, LCBO, and US independent retailers, and were stored in his temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar before coming to auction.
The score for 2003 Tua Rita Redigaffi Rosso di Toscana IGT is 95 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Intense aromas of raspberry sauce with vanilla cream. Full-bodied, soft and round, with lots of fruit and a caressing, seductive texture on the finish. Big and juicy. Blockbuster. Merlot. "The score for 2004 Tua Rita Redigaffi Rosso di Toscana IGT is 94 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2004 Redigaffi plays its best cards in terms of structure and mouthfeel. This vintage is remembered as very favorable to farmers because temperatures never pulled in any one extreme direction. Instead, a slow and steady season led to crisp fruit flavors, textural richness, concentration and firm tannins. The wine delivers soft pulses of black fruit, spice and dried mint. In fact, at this point in our full Redigaffi retrospective you begin to taste secondary or oak-driven aromas (that haven't completely integrated yet). The best part of this 2004 Merlot is its lasting freshness. This wine never feels heavy or too thick. Actually, it's quite the opposite. " The score for 2005 Tua Rita Redigaffi Rosso di Toscana IGT is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2005 Redigaffi was born in a vintage that was not quite as easy as 2004, but it produced impressive results nonetheless. The wine shows medium richness and extract, but there is enough plummy fruit and dark blackberry to flesh out the mouthfeel and drive a long finish. The length of the wine is also linked to the pretty freshness that gives backbone and vitality to this Tuscan Merlot.
