The nose is warm and spicy with pepper, hazelnut, dark chocolate, almond, and honey notes. The taste is peppery with honey and brown sugar on top of the black pepper and hints of almonds and dark chocolate in the background. The finish is long and spicy with black pepper fading away slowly and touches of caramel and dark chocolate.  (August, 2013)
