This wine presents a pleasant and charming nose with notes of bruised apples, cider, and bread crust, which I find particularly appealing. The balance between fruit, oxidation, and salinity is noteworthy. On the palate, it is austere, sharp, and mineral, with cider-like flavors and high salinity in the finish. Tasting it for the second time in 2.5 months, I've grown to appreciate it even more today.

Perhaps it was a bit too young, considering how challenging it was. The nose presented a pleasant oxidized aroma of bruised apples and cider. However, beyond that, there wasn't much to offer. While the palate delivered good intensity, pleasing flavors, and a robust mousse, the acidity was overwhelming, making it difficult to enjoy. I always approach Gatta with an open mind, but it consistently underperforms. I might need to explore his top-tier bottles for a better experience.
