The nose starts with a deep herb and dark fruit syrup sweetness. The nose is very hefty and bold. As it sits, the fruit character becomes more pronounced and crosses over to showcase a combination of citrus and tropical fruits. The taste starts with a brief wave of fruit, then sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, and then a combination of the three, joined by sweet oak. The second sip is much more chocolatey. The finish starts with a huge burst of florals that come across as both refreshing and spicy. A dark chocolate backdrop forms, adding a satisfying complexity. Late, a refreshing sweet floral component leaves the palate wanting more.
