Great character in this darker roasted, dried-in-the-cherry profile. Pungent, complex aroma: cedar, roasted nut, toast, lemon, herby dark chocolate. Roast-muted acidity, silky mouthfeel. The fragrant cedary wood notes, flowers and ripe lemon in particular dominate flavor, but chocolate surfaces again in the sweet if lightly astringent finish.
