Pungent fresh-cut fir dominates in aroma and cup with complex fruit and floral complication: dark chocolate, plum, a touch of cherryish brandy. Sweetly bright acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The flavor simplifies slightly in an otherwise rich, sweet finish.

The ferment tones in this dried-in-the-fruit coffee take on a particularly intense brandy character. Rich, brandy-inflected acidity and flavor complicated by dry chocolate, cherryish fruit, and a hint of herby mint. Sweet short finish with a slight saltiness lurking in the long.
