Mini- #baroloboys comparison. Interestingly, the Bartolo Mascarello showed better young. Oak still needs more time to integrate on the Elio Altare. Still, a fine wine.

Nice balance between traditional and morern influences. Typical Nebbiolo tannins, needs a few years still.

2009 vintage after 2 hours of decanting still tastes too young. But very full bodied and complex with velvety texture, typical of barolo, has great potential after some more aging.
