Tasting Notes
"The pleasant academic library mustiness (dusty leather-bound books) associated with port finishes fills the nose right away, along with dried fruits, fresh mixed berries, and a hint of clove. The palate features bold flavors of seeded rye bread mixing with spearmint, nutella (hazenuts and cocoa), and sweet spices. The sweet-tartness of dried figs and raisins come through after additional sips, adding to the nutty herbal mix, though the tart raisins take the lead toward the finish. "
