The aromatics are remarkably expressive, bursting with wild blackberries, red currants, crushed violets, dried thyme, and an intriguing, savory undercurrent of graphite and wet granite dust. On the palate, a \"crystalline\" core of high-altitude, mountain-driven acidity cuts cleanly through the ripe red berry fruit.
