Some folks will think this is way over-oaked, but I like it. Rich raspberry, a surprise star anise, dark chocolate, black tea, its really quite the savory driven Foursquare and very dry. The finish goes on forever and is dominated by that black tea and dark chocolate. A bit of freshness from the Crème brûlée comes in to keep it from being unbalanced.
