Smooth, rich, big-bodied, almost sugary sweet, with aromatic wood notes and a mild though distinct fruit ferment that hits raisin squarely and shades into dark chocolate. The sweetly rich finish grows very slightly tight in the long.

A sweet mustiness and a hint of fruit ferment read convincingly as caramel, perhaps dark chocolate, complicated by dry aromatic wood notes. Rounded acidity, medium body. The rich finish borders on heavy, but the flavor notes prolong nicely.

Unusual profile. Attractive, complex aroma: sweetly balanced, delicate, tart coffee fruit, dusk flowers. In the cup, soft acidity; smooth mouthfeel, verging on syrupy; quite sweet with a salty, spicy edge; continued lush lilyish floral notes. The salty sweet character carries into a rich finish.
