Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - An aged tasting of Elio Altare wines with Silvia Altare (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Quite nice aromas. Hefty, but very pleasing, showing nice Nebbiolo tart notes. Lovely and elegant. Nice palate entry with lots of intensity and tannins. Puckering and lean, gritty and intense... very brutal, but in a nice way. Some herbal notes, but still very primary. Very puckering and brutal tannins still present on the finish. Still, quite nice, intense, but very primary and lots of structure.
