Blind Assessment

Softly crisp, juicy. Complex fruit, particularly blackberry and Concord grape, roasted cacao nib, vanilla, anise in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart acidity; lightly syrupy, lively mouthfeel. Balanced, quietly flavor-saturated finish.

Notes

Who Should Drink It

Fine structure and a particularly wide range of aroma/flavor notes both express and exhilaratingly transcend the classic Guatemala cup.
