Just how I remember... Decanted for about an hour. Rich velvety chocolate scents bring to mind fudge brownies, crushed oreo's and chocolate truffles that meld with notes of sweet raspberry coulis, Chambord, cherry cordial and Kirsch, all saturated in vanilla, menthol and peppermint candy cane notes. The palate is rich and concentrated, voluptuous and silky smooth. Big vanilla cream flavors upon entry with jammy raspberry and cherry, licorice, ganache and menthol that incorporate candied violets and baking spice. Ripe silky tannins, medium to medium-plus acidity and full blown alcohol but not overly hot. Long on the decadent finish Should continue to develop but in its prime
