This bottle is a Total Wines store pick. I found this to be a very interesting experience. From the nose, to the taste, to the finish, each part changed from the last. It starts off with a light scent of wood musk, dried plums, dark chocolate and almond skins. The taste evolves to a sharp, sweet orange zest. It's peppery and has an underlying note of toasted wood shavings. The finish gets even more interesting. Its like a peppery custard with a bright pop of salted butter. I really like it.
