Tasting Notes

The 1990 L’Apparita is the most impressive wine in this last flight. The warm, ripe vintage, considered legendary at the time, produced rich, unusually sumptuous wines. That is exactly what comes through here. Perhaps even more importantly, the 1990 has enough fruit intensity and structure to handle the extracted style and heavy French oak that was in vogue at the time. What a gorgeous wine it is.

Score: 95

Exotic and beguiling, the 1990 L'Apparita is another of the many emotionally moving wines in this vertical. Mint, pine, licorice black cherries and sage some of the notes that are woven into a mosaic of notable class and elegance. Still rich and powerful, the 1990 has more than enough fruit to drink well for another decade, perhaps longer. I am amazed at how fresh and vibrant the 1990 remains, a true rarity among Tuscan wines from this precocious vintage.

Score: 97
