Tasting notes
The 2001 L’Apparita is a big, virile wine with exotic overtones that recall the 2008. Dark cherry, plum, mocha and smoke run through this decidedly virile, imposing wine.

The 2001 L'Apparita is the first wine in this tasting that shows tertiary complexity. Truffles, black pepper, spices, tobacco and incense literally jump from the glass, before the massive fruit hits the palate. Still a baby, readers lucky enough to own the 2001 can look forward to another 15-20 years of very fine drinking. Today, structure and power dominate. This is another impressive showing.
