Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of spiced and candied nuts, cocoa nibs and brown butter, walnuts and granola, and fig paste with a round, vibrant, dry medium-full body and a warming, colossal, very long finish that shows nuances of honey roasted orange, dried figs and dates, candied walnuts and fruit cake with grilled pineapple, and cinnamon apple and cocoa powder.
