Ceccherini Cristiano

A lot more character than the Elizabeths.
No much lanolin yet, but a searing minerality that I reckon is peculiar to the Lovedale vineyard. This should be the vineyard planted by Maurice O'Shea in his last few years of life. Again, though, my feelings are telling me that this wine won't get much better than this, which is not an issue, we just drink it. No stress.

A little corky early on but blew off quick, showing fresh acid and cracking complexity
