Quietly complex aroma. Sweetly floral with layered suggestions of fruit: grapefruit, coconut, pineapple. In the cup balanced yet penetrating fruit-toned acidity and syrupy mouthfeel; stone fruit, citrus and black currant soften toward chocolate, carrying into a deep, sweet, rich finish.

Balanced aroma with hints of sweet ripe berries, malt and toasted grain. Smooth, complex and delicately bright in the cup with continued soft berry and malt character complicated by suggestions of chocolate and cidery apple. The fruit-toned chocolate in particular lingers in the long, flavor-saturated finish.
Well-balanced aroma with suggestions of dark chocolate, nut and a muted hint of fruit. Rich, low-toned acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Nut and chocolate carry into the cup where the fruit becomes more pronounced, revealing berry and citrus complication. Fruit-toned, semi-sweet chocolate dominates in the clean finish.
A well-structured cup, delicate yet intense. Soft notes of aromatic wood, caramel and fruit in aroma and flavor. Gently tart acidity, silky mouthfeel. The aromatic wood character dominates in a sweet but slightly astringent finish.
