Color: Flashing gold (or orange wine) Nose: Marine smoke with candied apples. Rich wood fire with a creamy sweetness. Palate: More assertive sherry on the palate, with a dry, nutty start and a sharp, smoky progression. Smoked sweet fish with a fruity glaze, or rich aromatic wood fire. Finish: Really chewy finish. Can taste the youth with burnt, bitter peat at the end, but powerful and lingering. Diluted: Rounder, fuller wood smoke with some sweet citrus as well. Palate is so much sweeter, with strong honey notes amidst the smoke. Still a spicy sting on the finish.
