Rich and punchy, this Rougui will hit the spot for those with a craving for that high fire, charcoal-y yan cha flavor, with a dark liquor and a nose full of cacao. And yet the producer has managed to avoid an acrid, over-roasted character, the intense body with its namesake cassia bark note going down easy, and a slight tang, perhaps dried cherry, emerging to balance the chocolatey bitterness. Use to arouse a burgeoning appetite, or to quell one, consumed in brandy snifters before a roaring fire.
