The nose features aromas reminiscent of cozy winter evenings: vanilla, barrel spice, blueberry and chai tea. A hint of fresh blackberry keeps things bright and transitions to the palate with cardamom, and a subtle nod to calabrian chili. The dark, full, spicy palate is layered and well-structured. Cocoa powder, espresso beans, nutmeg, and white peppercorn add complexity to the bevvy of dense blue fruit on display.
