Lobenberg: Der Kultwein von Castello di Ama. Seit dem Jahr 1985 produziert, lenkte er schnell die Aufmerksamkeit von Weinkennern und -sammlern auf sich. Ein monumentaler Merlot aus der Toskana. Beeindruckende Struktur und eine außergewöhnliche Eleganz. Granatrot im Glas. Dunkle Kirschen, Zwetschgen und Holunderbeeren im Mund. Eine große Harmonie zwischen Frucht und Tanninen, die diesen Wein zu einem spektakulären Trinkereigniss werden lassen. 95/100
96+ /100

Merlot Vigna L'Apparita
-- Galloni: It is amazing how much a little decanting can do for the 2009 L'Apparita. Initially tight and reticent, the 2009 blossoms into a stunning, open, beautifully radiant wine that captivates all of the senses. I visited the estate in 2009, during the middle of a huge heat wave. I expected to find a much bigger wine, but ultimately, the 2009 is medium in body and all about finesse. This is a fabulous Apparita graced with exquisite aromatics and tons of pure class. I imagine the 2009 will enjoy a broad drinking window, but like all Apparitas, the best comes with time. 96+/100

Parker über:
Merlot Vigna L'Apparita
-- Parker: 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. 94/100 -- 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. Pure merlot. This needs time to come together but it is so beautiful now. 95/100
