Cinnamon and sugar, and Cayenne. Chocolate covered coffee beans, and Cayenne. Cayenne and leathery-anise, with a hint of earthen-molasses and Cayenne. Lots of depth, delineation.
An old vine red wine with cast iron notes intros at the half with a neat-o funk attachment. A rare sparkling water encounter fills the un-played notes throughout.
