Blind Assessment
Intensely aromatic yet finely balanced. The rich aroma is dominated by a pungent cedar sensation with backgrounded caramelly chocolate sweetness and a hint of flowers. The chocolaty fruit and night floral notes move lushly forward in the cup, persisting into the finish. Soft acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel.

Who Should Drink It
An unusually poised, quietly complete version of the aromatic, extravagantly floral Yirgacheffe cup.
