A bundle of wood—sawdust, pine forest, and wood spice—jumpstart the nose, though sweeter aromas of bundt cake, shea butter, malted milk balls, and chocolate milk soon join the fray. More chocolate lies on the heavenly palate, which sings with raspberry Ghirardelli squares, cocoa powder, Raisinets, mocha latte, and grape jelly. The finish keeps a good thing going: chocolate, fruit, and cinnamon spice linger on and on.
