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.
