Evaluated as espresso. Lots of flowers with an herby edge—lavender, jasmine, orange blossom, cilantro—cushion on milk chocolate in this bright, light-footed espresso. Both co-taster John DiRuocco and Ken read this high-toned but resonant espresso in about the same terms with parallel ratings of 94. Resolves to an orangy, floral caramel in three parts milk.
Complex, richly aromatic. Brandy barrel, dark chocolate, candied ginger, orange zest, hint of gardenia in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; plush, creamy mouth feel. Gently drying wood-framed finish with notes of brandy barrel and orange zest.
