Nose: immediate pungeant maritime peat that opens into green apples, pears, vanilla, and honey. There's a strong salinity here. Underlying fruity and floral note.
Palate: definitely feels like this has oxidized a little bit, not as strong of an ethanol note/robust body as I remember, but it has been a while. Still a significant peat throughout here. Salt air. Wet oak. Charcoal. Vanilla. Light milk chocolate elements here. A tiny hint of honey and citrus. Light pear here too.
Finish: sea water, peaty/phenolic, a gentle numbing and warm oak tannin.
