James Suckling: 97 Points
This has gorgeous aromas of walnuts, chocolate, spiced plums, licorice and grilled herbs. Rich and chewy with a full body and firm, broad tannins. Opulent, yet held in check. Salty undertones to the ripe fruit and spice. Concentrated from start to finish. 100% merlot. Drink or hold.
Decanter: 95 Points
In 2017 they lost 15% of production. They decided to increase the level of toasting in the barrels but reduce the time spent in oak from 20 to 16 months in order to balance the slight greenness in the tannins - and they have successfully achieved their aim. It's another lovely Redigaffi, but one that reflects the 2017 vintage with beautiful transparency. Dark liquorice notes on the nose are restrained but concentrated. Black berries add to a smooth, round and concentrated mid-palate. The tannins are fine, giving a dry finish with just a little touch of green herbs. Drinking Window 2020 - 2032
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
Born in yet another hot vintage on the Tuscan Coast, the 2017 Redigaffi is dark, richly concentrated, textured and soft. It offers a broad collection of plummy dark fruit aromas with cherry preserves, chocolate-covered prunes, grilled rosemary and Indian spice. However, what stands out most in this edition is the power and the firmness of the tannins. This is the proverbial big wine with a capitol B that could use more time in bottle.
