Dark amber color. Aromas of dark chocolate shavings, hazelnut, black tea, and mahogany with a round, vibrant, dry medium-full body and a warming, distinctive, very long peanut butter cups, honey-roasted nuts, cocoa butter, espresso bean, and roasted dates finish. Intense, nutty and sophisticated flavors abound in a fantastically-textured liquid; this is definitely a bottle to get your hands on.

A generous nose, with chocolate-covered cherries, candied orange peel, menthol, cola, pine nuts, caramel, corn bread, and varnish. Piles of baking spice and dark chocolate shavings on the palate mingle with raspberry jam, orange peel, gingersnaps, cinnamon, and mint; water amplifies and brightens the fruit character. A lip-smacking finish of dark chocolate, mint, tobacco, and polished oak.
