The 2011 Altesino is a lovely showing, as this slowly unwinds it begins to release aromas of cherries and red berries which are woven together with leather, floral and spices. On the palate this is beautifully balanced with an alluring silky texture that carries on through the long finish. Overall a very solid effort, but will need some additional bottle age before it hits full stride. (Best 2018-2028) - March, 2016 (JD)
