Very spicy, smoky, roasted chili pepper, chocolate, minty, cassis jam, leather flavours with some orange rind and spicy aromas. Rich, round, ripe fruit and a sense of elegance not often encountered in Chile with very spicy, chocolate, chili pepper, vanilla, leather, dried lychee and tobacco flavours.
