Jolie nez de cerises, un peu serrez en bouche, en peu jeune mais fin.

Lacks character. Out of balance.

Fantastic. Very balanced. Rich forward full fruit with light finish... doesn't linger around. One of my favorites. Very flexible with lots of different foods.

Mamma mia! Classic Altare family...real, raw and rambunctious! First comes the farm, then dried red flowers and cinnamon spice and finally some cool bruised fruit! Gripping minerality and acidity. Aggressively youthful but it's a 13' barely legal! She was singing on day two! 6-8 months in bottle should smooth out those kinks, great wine!
