Score 93/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2007

The 2003 L'Apparita (100% Merlot) is a gorgeously opulent effort packed with layers of blackberry, cassis, chocolate and well-integrated oak. Its expansive personality, terrific length and notable freshness make it a great effort in this difficult vintage.
