Tasting Notes
"The nose is rich, with a sherried nuttiness, malted chocolate, and orange peels, as well as candied fruits and spice, and in the background, an herbal side with hay. A silky palate offers milk chocolate contrasted with dry oak and cedar wood, spice, and quick flashes of flavors showing its broad range of components: cinnamon, citrus, nuts, spearmint. On the finish, sweeter chocolate gives way to bitter dark chocolate, with more citrus and spice, black pepper, and with water, a buttery quality."
