88 / 100
This points to a richer style, with dark chocolate and brown sugar giving the palate weight, while candied citrus and ripe pear keep it from feeling too heavy. The lingering dried fruits and baking spices sound like a satisfying continuation, with a mild bitterness and woody touch adding a firmer edge. There’s also a lighter lift from white flowers and the fresh fruit on the nose.
