Tasting Notes
"A somewhat musty aroma envelops notes of red bell pepper, roasted peanuts and leather. The palate is a mix of stewed fruits and sharp spices — heavy on clove, then cinnamon, black pepper, allspice — with a bitter, slightly tannic finish. Unfortunately, many of the flavors and aromas seem to be fighting one another instead of finding a middle ground, although a big cube helps soften the tannins and sharper spices. "
