Nice peat behind a veil of barbecue smoke characterises the first nose. Some discrete fruity notes appear after a while, together with a kind of medicinal smell which remains fortunately on the background.
In the mouth, peat and alcohol are fighting for the first impression, but the taste develops rather quickly on nice bitter then slightly acid touches at the end.
The finish is on peat too and a chocolate impression comes and crowns the whole. The finish is rather smooth even if peat still dominates.
2009The nose is gently marked by a mix of peat and smoke, letting some nice floral notes and clear vanilla hints appear.
In the palate, a delicious sweet-bitter mix, with successively peated and slightly woody hints, and some finely acid touches.
The finish is very pleasant, lingering and warm, with some memories of smoke and a kind of bitterness.
