Jet-ruby in colour, the nose here presents dark, sultry, black fruit with morello cherry and blueberry notes. The palate, with similar aromatics and a sombre, reserved restraint, nonetheless suggests an innate power, a plethora of dark brooding fruit and a savoury layer, some spice and a well-defined mineral focus. There is a clear freshness and charm here, though much is held in check at this stage - a testimony to Andrea's patience and ability to read and understand the evolving wine, rather than imposing textbook methods - impressive.
