Nose

Concentrated. Fruit compote, baked fruits, tinned raspberry, cooked plum but with phenolics acting as a counterpoint: tobacco leaf, coal.

Palate

A sweet, winey start then it dries allowing the peat to emerge before relaxing and letting raspberry fruitiness to return. Layered, complex.

Finish

Mellow, winey, a hint of fragrant smoke.

Comment

Audacious but it works. Brilliantly.
