Blind Assessment

Balanced, richly sweet. Apricot, agave syrup, baking chocolate, cashew butter, tangerine zest in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with pert acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The long, gentle finish centers around notes of chocolate and cashew butter with hints of tangerine zest.
