Wonderful nose, smells like a blend of sherry and port, port in the front, sherry in the background. I can taste the port, but it is balanced by smoke. Quite spicy with a fairly long finish - smoke, black pepper, port, with a bit of dry wood hiding in the back. Lemon zest pops up along the way. A little bit of tannin, but it's surrounded and smoothed over with so many other flavors. Just a faint hint of green apple at the end.
