Blind Assessment

Concentrated, rich-toned, deep. Dried plum, sandalwood, baking chocolate, star jasmine, lemon thyme in aroma and cup. Deeply sweet structure with bright acidity; very full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of dried plum and sandalwood with hints of baking chocolate.

Bottom Line

An impressive Yemen cup, deep-toned and cleanly fruit-centered with bright, juicy acidity and inviting spice notes throughout.
