Tasting Notes
"The nose is complex and layered, with spearmint, pine, and cedar atop smoky undertones, as well as cinnamon and dark chocolate. The palate has rich sweetness balanced by earthiness and an almost savory quality, with notes of cocoa powder, light maple syrup, black pepper, peat, and tart berries. The finish moves into a drier direction, with leather, wood tannins, and fireplace."
