Remarks:
For the age it is quite complex. Very tasty, nice combination of sherry notes and smoke. Very tasty.

lots of dark fruits, plums, raisins, light smoke note combined with some ripe cherries. Later slightly sweet, alcohol is quite well integrated - Taste: 88/100 points
smoky, somewhat ashy, lots of dark fruits, very spicy, pepper, plums, raisins, later a bit sweet on the tongue, alcohol more present here. - Finish: 88/100 points
Smoky and spicy, pepper, a bit bitter, oak notes, quite a long finish, dark fruity taste lingers for a long time.
