Wild herbs and tobacco leaf drive the aromatics with remarkable intensity. The palate shows dried cherry and mint threading through a delicate frame that feels almost transparent. Mountain terroir expresses itself through earthy undertones and pronounced stemmy character. This fragile beauty is drinking at its peak now.
