A very nice nose, marked by pepper and some discrete peat. Marine notes with iodine hints are quite present with some fruit hints behind.
In the palate, first peat, followed by fruity notes (banana). Despite an impression of nice maturity and balance, this oily mouth is not really spectacular.
The finish is lingering and hints of peat prolong the pleasure for long minutes.

A nice nose, marked by discrete peat and floral hints. Some slightly medicinal touches appear after a while. A bit of acidity and some spices complete the impression.
The mouth is first both slightly bitter and acid before developing on mort woody fragrances, where the bitterness remains. One could have expected more complexity, as the nose was really promising.
The finish is interesting, as the woody bitterness slowly developes on chocolate notes, while the acid notes diseappear progressively.
