NOTES:
Chocolate-covered apricots & a somewhat astringent citrus. Smooth, dense. There's a lime-ade on the nose. The stuff is coffee complected. Greasy. The top-notes mentioned sit atop an Almond Joy candy bar. "Almond Joy's got nuts -- Mounds don't." That almond serves as a toasty bracing. Slurping offers bigger cocoa & some black tea underneath. Some peppery hardwood.

Dee-lish! Savory beefy lip-smacking. Well-rounded, balanced, fleshed out corners. That last sentence was full of redundancies worthy of repeating. Plush leather oily well-structured body w/ an excellent focus on fruity chocolate remains. Complex, nuanced, & more-ish as all get-out. I could drink this all day, & will.

FINAL GRADE: A
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
