white pepper.

Susan Reigler – 8.7 

Nose: Multigrain cereal with vanilla, sweet mint, some baking spice. 

Palate: Vanilla and caramel. The baking spice is joined by dark fruit, raisins, ripe sour cherries, dates, notes of bitter dark chocolate. 

Finish: Very long with spiced tannins. Pepper fades to leave a lingering warmth without being hot. 

Comments: A splash of water is vital to access the different flavor layers are revealed. Instead of mingling, they appear successively.
