Blind Assessment

Classic cup: pure, lush, powerful. Molasses sweetness in the aroma with hints of nut and flowers. In the cup grandly but sweetly acidy, syrupy mouthfeel, continued molasses and night floral notes with hints of honey and nut. Long, rich finish.

Who Should Drink It

An imposing, almost monumental cup, whose luxuriant floral notes are powered by a deeply assertive acidity.
