Nose: Lush apples and pears at their peak of ripeness, accented by a touch of dust, with subtle whispers of soot and smoke.

Taste: Immensely rich and full-bodied, it's a chocolate lover's dream: from cacao nibs to a smoky chocolate dance, rounding out with the indulgence of a chocolate milkshake.

Finish: A prolonged delight. Picture that chocolate milkshake now paired with strawberries, garnished with crushed peanuts, almonds, and a sprinkle of Tutti Frutti candy.

Comment: Delightfully perplexing!
