Nice, toasty, woody nose with a buttery top note. The initial impression upon tasting is of a dense, intertwining of flavors. Elements of heavy tannin, dark caramel, walnut, hazelnut, bittersweet cocoa, medium roast coffee bean, and ginger cake are all here. The body is medium-heavy with a comprehensive mouthfeel. The finish is extra long with softer, fruity notes of baked apple, banana bread and praline coming out to wave goodbye. Quite the expression, and quite the experience.
