The color is a beautiful light amber, very delicate.
The nose you immediately perceive a light peaty smokiness, a sign that the Islay barrels are not just passing through, accompanied by decisive sweet and vinous notes, obviously marsalate. Yellow fruit with a pinch of pepper. The sense of smell is not particularly complex, but pleasant: youth is felt whole.
On the palate alcohol slightly pinches, and the peat smokiness is immediately dominated by the clear influence of Marsala: lots of wine, lots of orange, together with candied fruit, spices (still pepper, with cloves) and, after a bit of wait, return of the herbaceous peat with a hint of minerality. The profile in the mouth is more interesting than the olfactory one, with a greater variety even if it remains not particularly stratified, with the vinous aspect that dominates it. But for a 3 years old it is already a remarkable achievement.
Marsala finish (very) with a touch of citrus, not very long and dry.
