伊林奧特巴羅洛紅葡萄酒

I first raved about Elio Altare's brilliant wines nearly a dozen years ago, and I remember some old-timers in the wine business raising their eyebrows about such laudatory praise for a producer who was then totally unknown in Piedmont. Over a decade later, Altare has turned out as many great wines as anybody in Piedmont. His two 1993 Barolos are brilliant wines. The 1993 Barolo La Morra possesses a medium dark ruby color, followed by a spicy, sweet, seductive nose of black fruits, cherries, smoke, spice, and tar. On the palate, the wine exhibits an expansive, lush, voluptuous texture, silky tannin, well-integrated acidity, and gobs of fruit and glycerin. Although it offers gorgeous drinking now, it will evolve well for a decade.
