Let's Taste It : 

Very dark sherry, amarena, blackberry liqueur, very fine smoke. Wood gorged with sap, apricot juice, foresty peat. Smoke blends with blackcurrant, red fruits take over, damsons, muscat grapes, blueberry. Earth, campfire, barbecue, melting fat. Quite smooth on the palate, spicy, varnished wood, red plum, crushed strawberry. Cloves. The finish takes us far away, charcoal and heather earth, humus, ferns, pungent caramel, salted butter, hint of aniseed.

 

In Short, 

It's obviously very good, and the combination of peat and sherry is enriched by a foresty note. Unfortunately the price has become extravagant. 

Score : 89
