Nose: riper fruits and slightly more sherry influence, I would say. More caramel aromas and baked apple, as well as some milk chocolate. Golden raisins. Underneath there is a layer of campfire smoke and smoldering leafs, not huge but easily noticeable. Rich and balanced.

Mouth: a nice creamy fruitiness now, with barbecued pineapple and smoked peaches. A big malty core, with honey and caramel coated nuts. Raisins. A fine layer of ash. A herbal / bitter / peaty touch in the end, overall a nice composition.

Finish: medium long, with spices like cardamom and ginger and a lingering sweet side.
