Nose: There is peat but not at the expense of a fruity core. Apricots, peaches, nectarines, apples. The peat is mostly of the earthy kind. Vanilla, varnish, fermented pears, leather, tobacco and it’s very well balanced. Some incense with water added.
Palate: Delicious. Sweet and eathy peat. Apricots, white nectarines, lychees, red apples, sweet tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla. Sarah Lee Apple Crumble. There’s some white pepper and fresh ginger. Dare I say mature? The balance remains on the palate. There’s a bunch of fruit candies with water added. Medium bodied.
Finish: Apples, pears, leather, tobacco, oak, earthy peat. The apple crumble with water added then some late engine oil.
Last Word: A marvel at this young age! Balanced, complex and has even more to give than my notes suggest.
