Nose: a nice marriage of sweet, fruity notes (peach marmalade, oranges) and dry, earthy notes (peat, faint smoke, oak). Noticeable vanilla. Hints of flowery honey.

Mouth: more peat now, even phenolic hints of gouache. Slightly peppery. Ripe fruits and a bit of toffee. Salty hints of liquorice in the very end.

Finish: spices, sweet cocoa and smoke.

A good all-rounder with a firm character and balanced peat.

Certainly sounds worth trying. I'm assuming price is included in your full review on your website?

Correct. It's about € 30 here in Belgium.
