Nose
Dark fruits and very mild peat, with fruity floral notes, tobacco, leather, medicinal and coastal notes. Overripe plums, raisins, cherries, and a minerality are also present.
Palate
Starts with a lemon note, heavy fruits and vanilla, mirroring the nose. Minerality increases, with a rich, creamy texture and a delicate bitterness.
Finish
Sweet fruitiness, muted, with a hint of ashes and thin peatiness. The smoke lingers, with a slight bitterness and orange peel.
