Blind Assessment
Sweetly tart: ripe citrus, pungent cedar, sweet almond, hints of cocoa and a not unpleasant dry earth. Round, juicily tart acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. A hint of salt and savory complicate an otherwise sweetly rich finish.

Who Should Drink It
The acidity here is not an intense, brightly lemony sensation, but rather ripe, juicy, and complicated by a cedary, slightly earthy character. Lovers of minerally, complex, only moderately dry white table wines might be particular candidates for this coffee.
