Savoury, fragrant, toasted. Expect a potpourri of cedar chips and violets, sarsaparilla and mocha with plump black raspberry and cherry aromas layered with baking spices. In opposition to a sweetly seductive nose, it has an earthy and savoury character on the palate; toasted oak flavour is notable and quite dominant. It has good balance and structure, the finish shows bitter chocolate and espresso.
