An aged tasting of Elio Altare wines with Silvia Altare (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Smells precisely like wet pizza. Like, a pizza that's been sitting in the delivery cardboard box for too long and then you poured water on it. Pretty rancid. Old notes on the palate, with tart puckering sensations. Very puckering and bitter, but it actually lingers well and leaves the palate tasting nice.
