La Torcaza Estate
Traditional Washed – Green
Review Date: | July 2000 |
Blind Assessment
Soft, low-key coffee with a twisty undercurrent of dark vegetative notes: wood or grass at worst; at best spice, tobacco or smoke. I found that, as the cup cooled, these notes sweetened pleasantly toward cocoa and cedar.
