Overall
Score
8.8
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.
