Nose of nice, sweet smokey bacon. The campfirey Caol Ila aspects are here and dominate, along with something like sulfur but not -- burnt leather maybe.
 
Hmm, palate is nothing to shout about here and it does seem a bit "repaired." Medium-to-rather sweet with bacony smoke. The Sauternes sweetness does come forward, especially in the finish for a lingering moment... not in a particularly impressive way, though.
 
Flawed, but worth trying and enjoyable.
