95 James Suckling
A beautiful currant and blueberry character to this wine follows through to a full body with ultra fine tannins and fresh fruit. Very, very fine. This needs time to come together but it's so beautiful now. Pure merlot. Try in 2016.

Stunning as usual, the 2009 L’Apparita (100% Merlot) starts off slow but builds steady momentum and intensity. This is a seamless and beautifully integrated expression that sees fine contrast between acidity, structure and fruity extract. The wine is still tight, so give it time to complete its bottle evolution. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030

An elegant, Bordeaux-like style, offering cherry, black currant, cedar and floral notes. Balanced and harmonious, this needs a little time to absorb the moderate tannins. A hint of orange zest graces the finish. Merlot. Best from 2015 through 2024. 1,050 cases made
