Blind Assessment: Sweet and deep in aroma and cup: notes of moist, freshly fallen leaves, and a ripe, slightly fermented fruit that reaches toward dark chocolate in the cup. Fullish body. Simple, cedar-toned finish.

Who should drink it: Quietly pleasing Sumatra with a balanced presence of earth and fruit.
