Tasting notes
The 1993 L'Apparita is fascinating. A bit more advanced in its bouquet than on the palate, the 1993 impresses for its depth. I expect the aromas will continue to develop at a faster rate than the fruit matures, suggesting the 1993 is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. When wines are in this state, they rarely improves over time, rather the slight imbalances only become more apparent. Today, the 1993 is a bit wild and unrestrained, but impressive for its huge fruit and imposing structure.
