Score 94/100 · Drink 2022-2030, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jul 2022

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.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2013-2016, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2009

The inky-colored 2004 Redigaffi, 100% Merlot aged for 16 months in new oak, offers expressive, nuanced aromatics along with sensations of richly-textured blue and black jammy fruit, minerals, mint, chocolate, spices and sweet toasted oak on big, powerful frame with notable underlying structure and a warm, resonating finish. Although it has enough structure and acidity to drink well for another decade or so, I enjoy Redigaffi most in its youth.

Very complex yet subtle aromas of licorice, dark chocolate, violet and raspberry. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a long, long finish. Harmonious and wonderful. Reminds me of the great 1997. even better. Merlot. Best after 2008. 650 cases made. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
