This is a juicy one, fragrant with all manner of fruit, from freshly squeezed orange juice to white peaches to sundae cherries. The fruit falls to the wayside on the palate, as creamy milk chocolate, rich chocolate buttercream, cinnamon, and espresso powder take center stage. Some fruit does seep back in though, thanks to a bright bite of raspberry coulis toward the back. The finish is hot and there’s a tang of woodiness that wasn’t there before, but chocolate takes the proverbial cake in the end.
