Blind Assessment
Big, deep, classically symphonic coffee. Intense aroma: black-cherryish fruit, white wine, flowers. In the cup syrupy body, powerful but rounded acidity, pungently juicy flavor with sweet lemon and night flower notes. Pure, smooth, fruit-and-flower saturated finish.

Who Should Drink It
A grand but ingratiating, complete coffee gesture. Very light-roasted, but the green coffee is so sweet and roundly balanced that those who enjoy medium-dark roasts should take pleasure in it.
