Blind Assessment
Crisply dry but quite sweet; intricate. Black currant, lavender, kumquat, fresh-cut fir, a hint of flavor-rounding chocolate in aroma and cup. Rich, quietly vibrant acidity; full, satiny mouthfeel. Exceptionally deep, resonantly flavor-saturated finish.

Who Should Drink It
The engaging juxtaposition of sweet and dry tendencies in this seasonal blend resolve with particularly satisfying richness in an unusually long and complex finish.
