In Redigaffi’s twentieth vintage, there is no doubting the pedigree of this wonderful Super Tuscan. This brilliant release from Tua Rita is, quite simply, an embarrassment of superlatives. Just 8000 bottles (compared to the usual 10 000) were made of this velveteen wine. As such, demand is expected to be even higher than usual. A wine of remarkable presence; this...

The 2013 vintage is an extraordinarily elegant wine with an expansive bouquet of sweet red cherries and wild berries.

One of the most famous Hospices holdings, the vines lie in the upper section of Mazis Chambertin, exactly level with the neighbouring Chambertin Clos de Bèze and the oldest vines (66% of the plot) date back to 1947. On the nose, the approachability of 2009 is immediately apparent with gorgeous bramble fruit in abundance. Spices lurk beneath, supporting the fruit...
