Los Alpes Estate
Washed Bourbon/Typica – Green
Review Date: | July 2000 |
Blind Assessment
A luxuriously sweet, full, suavely rounded cup enlivened by nut and spice tones and a tickle of flowers. "Rich, saturated butter," exclaimed one panelist. Slightly sharp when hot, but as the cup cools the bitter edge swoons into the enveloping sweetness.
Notes
