Blind Assessment
Deeply fruit-toned, richly chocolaty. Candied papaya, black cherry, dark chocolate, honeysuckle, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Tart-leaning structure with high-toned, fruity acidity; smooth, gently tannic mouthfeel. The finish centers on dark chocolate and black cherry.

Bottom Line
A dessert-like natural-processed Panama Geisha cup, all fruit and flowers and chocolate, heady in its aromatic and flavor intensity.
