Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet, high-toned, straightforward. Cocoa powder, lime zest, fresh-cut fir, freesia-like flowers, walnut in aroma and cup. Quietly tart structure with round, gently brisk acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. The rich-toned finish consolidates to notes of cocoa powder and walnut with hints of flowers.
