750ml bottle, 2024 vintage. Chocolate aroma with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, roasted malt, chiles and coffee. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and very little lacing. Starts with rich chocolate, roasted malt and cinnamon flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with vanilla, coffee and chile pepper flavors. Excellent variant, definitely like the increased vanilla flavor.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is full of intense vanilla beans upfront, with a touch of cocoa, cinnamon and chilis. Flavour is very rich, with tons of vanilla beans upfront, a touch of cocoa, and a touch of cinnamon. The extra vanilla adds a nice further layer of complexity to this and drowns out the chilis and cinnamon. Very good.
