Elio Altare Vigna Larigi 1993
93/100 vinous
"I have long believed the level of a producer can only be truly understood by looking at the small vintages, and this next set of wines is truly surprising. To be sure, none of the wines of the early 1990s is extraordinary, but they reveal so much about what it means to be a top-level grower. Altare's 1993 Vigna Larigi is easily the best of these wines from the early 1990s. In many ways it is similar to the 1988 in its floral aromatics and superb balance. Nothing in particular stands out, yet the wine reveals gorgeous density in its fruit in a smaller-scaled style than is often the case."
