The Redigaffi 1999 shows almost no colour development and remains a very vibrant dark purple. The nose is very fruit forward with blackberry conserve, rich melted vanilla/chcolate and candied mint. I was quite surprised at the slow the evolution for the 1999, all the primary fruit is still on display with medium-high tannin still present. For a wine at 10+ years, there is no sign of the wine unlocking. My advice would be forget about this for another 10 years and then take a look at what might be Italy's greatest Merlot for the vintage. A$325/bottle
