Blind Assessment

Deeply sweet-savory. Pipe tobacco, scorched clove, dark chocolate, ripe banana, a hint of freesia-like flowers in aroma and cup. Balanced, bittersweet structure with soft acidity; very full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Savory-leaning finish with notes of pipe tobacco and scorched clove, lifted by a crisp dark chocolate.

Bottom Line

An intriguing aged Sumatra, deftly roasted to bring out musky spice notes, pipe tobacco and dark chocolate.
