Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-toned aroma: orange, cocoa, butterscotch. In the cup big, simple, authoritative but ingratiating, with round, ringing acidity and the pure expression of coffee fruit, a tart cherry sensation. Clean, deep, cherryish finish.
Notes

Who Should Drink It
A classic breakfast cup, grandly sweet but dry, with a coffee fruit too true for analogies.
