Blind Assessment

Intense and unmistakable Kenya character: dry yet sweet synthesis of pungent black currant, blackberry and fresh-cut cedar; backgrounded hints of lush night-blooming flowers, lemon, black sage. Big, sweetly brisk acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The Kenya flavor complex deeply saturates a long, rich finish.

Who Should Drink It

Classic Kenya. Balanced in structure but with the Kenya aroma/flavor complex on steroids. If you don’t know Kenyas, try this one. If you do know Kenyas and you like them, don’t miss this one. Spectacular.
