Tasting Notes
"The nose offers cocoa powder-dusted truffles intermingling with a lineup of berries: raspberries, blueberries and lingonberries among them. The palate showcases dried apricots, figs and cashews together in a trail mix with chocolate chips. The finish showcases ginger snap cookies and Christmas spice, with medicinal notes, and jam on burnt toast."
