Fabulous opaque jet black ’05 release goes down velvety smooth despite heady 10.8% alcohol guise as creamy black chocolate overlay absorbs dried espresso-coffee roasting and coarsening charcoal backdrop. Chewy molasses-caramel-toffee midst increases above silken anise spicing, black currant bittering, nutty raisin swipe, and bread crusted base. Sherry-port notes subsume grape and cherry esters to fig-induced mocha finish.
