Early spice followed by red wine while a nice nuttiness follows before a light woody note brought on from 12 years spent in oak casks. The taste is a deep spice flavor with a robust yet creamy body cloaked in a definite chocolaty note. Dried fruits and nut accompany the chocolate, giving a verticable praline note in the taste. The finish is long and rich with some citrus, chocolate, raisins, and marzipan all delightfully lingering.
