  Dark raspberry, red plum with medium tannins and good acidity. Long finish with good balance.

  Three vintages of Redigaffi side by side. 2000/2010/2015. No detailed notes taken. I was underwhelmed by all three wines as all of them showed a touch too ripe but especially as all three wines showed alcohol heat towards the finish, which I particularly dislike. In terms of complexity and definition the wines had good but not great levels. Best wine was the 2000 (94pts) which showed most layered with a good fruit core, earthy notes but not tertiary aromas yet, all embedded in a fine structure with a good velvety texture but a bit of heat. The 2015 (92pts) had an intriguing sweetness and good structural frame but unfortunately was a bit one-noted and showed most heat. I’ve had this wine in its early days after bottling and it showed amazing, far better, more complex and without the heat. Every bottle since was weaker than the previous on (from 97 pts to 95, to 94 and now 92). The 2010 (91pts) is muted with not much expression and complexity showing. It showed the least heat but also least interesting. Maybe it will open up again in a few years.
  
  Decanting: All wines have been decanted for roughly 2 hours and needed the time to open up. The 2010 could have probably used more air.

  Tasted double-blind as part of a Redigaffi mini- vertical (2000, 2010, 2015). Dense with lots of power but more narrow aromatically than the others. Cherry and red berry fruit and a fine mineral layer, but not much else. Palate also dense with a soft texture, but also grippy, slightly harsh tannin towards the end. This was appeared pretty closed hence hard to judge, but didn't appear to play in the same league as 2000 or 2015.

  San Diego Superspeader 2021 (Solare Restaurant, Liberty Station, Point Loma, San Diego CA): 100% merlot, 14.5% alc. Decanted. Clear deep dark inky garnet-purple. Glorious notes of sour black and red cherries, blackberries, blueberries, violets, leather, charcoal, hints of cardamom and unsweetened chocolate. Firm pleasant tannic grip, youthful, bold and beautiful. "A joy to drink" according to Bomba. Group's SECOND PLACE in this flight.
