Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Deep-toned, crisply chocolaty. Baking chocolate, hazelnut, date, gardenia, oak in aroma and small cup. Full, creamy mouthfeel; sweetly nut-toned, wood-framed finish. In cappuccino format, notes of baking chocolate and hazelnut are supported by oak.

Bottom Line
