Blind Assessment
Sweet-toned, bright aroma: gently pungent nut and fir notes, hints of coffee fruit (tart cherry), butter, chocolate. The aromatics simplify in the quiet, balanced cup; the tart fruit deepens toward brandy, the hint of buttery chocolate persists. Simple but clean, sweet finish.

Who Should Drink It
A slight hint of brandyish fruit ferment pleasantly complicates the profile of this otherwise classic Colombia.
