Aromas of plums, raspberries and strawberries lead the nose, with nuance coming from a dusting of tea leaves and a crackle of pepper. On the palate, things stay fruity, but a coppery clatter of pennies and a rich cup of chili-infused hot chocolate provide provocative undertones. Palm Bay International. —D.C.
