Tasting Notes
"There is a distinct aroma of wet leaf-covered soil backed up by allspice and orange peel. The medium weight palate is quite peppery—both yellow bell pepper and green chili pepper—with aromatic black tea components, porcini mushroom, smoked orange, and sweet spices. Though it is quite earthy, spicy, and vegetal, a subtle chocolate sweetness comes into the finish. "
