Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet-tart, floral. Dried apricot, freesia-like flowers, blood orange zest, cocoa nib, brown sugar in aroma and cup. Richly bittersweet structure with gentle, round acidity; full, creamy mouthfeel. The sweet-toned finish leads with dried apricot and cocoa nib in the short , brown sugar in the long.
