Blind Assessment
Richly low-toned aroma: caramel, dark chocolate, fir. In the cup lightly syrupy mouthfeel, soft but vibrant acidity, with a deep, quiet, lavish complexity: distinct floral notes, dry wine- and berry-toned fruit, a hint of cherryish chocolate.

Who Should Drink It
A wet-processes Ethiopia that both expresses its floral type and softly and lavishly transcends it.
