REVIEWS FOR:

The 2001 Panama Cupping Event

By Kenneth Davids
April 1st, 2001

93

Specialty Grade – Green

Mama Cata Estate

Review Date: Apr 2001

A powerfully understated, slow-developing cup with an acidity enveloped in sweetness, low-toned wine and cherry notes, a silky body, and a long, clear finish. The cup rounded and strengthened impressively as it cooled.

Specialty Grade – Green

San Benito Estate

Review Date: Apr 2001

A classic, high-toned, vanilla-laced aroma; in the cup subtle, rich, resonant, with pronounced chocolate tones that carry straight through from cup to finish.

Special Reserve – Green

La Victoria Estate

Review Date: Apr 2001

This deeply dimensioned coffee rewarded patience. My initial score was the same as the jury 's, but as the cup cooled I found myself adding points as a slight bitterness dropped away and a seductive fruit- and floral-toned sweetness prevailed.

Special Reserve – Green

Cooperativa de Productores de Café Boquete

Review Date: Apr 2001

Elegant rather than authoritative, with a clear, bell-like, but not overpowering acidity, delicate, flower-toned aromatics, and a smooth, sweet finish.

Specialty Grade – Green

Cooperativa de Café Boquete

Review Date: Apr 2001

Delicate floral and fruit notes reminiscent of Ethiopia wet-processed coffees shimmered in this complex, richly-textured coffee. The acidity was understated but resonant and wine-toned.

Special Reserve

Horqueta Estate

Review Date: Apr 2001

A sturdy if simple Latin-American cup: Little nuance but substantial body and bright acidity. High-toned, balanced, clean, direct.

Specialty Grade – Green

Cafetalera Fernandez

Review Date: Apr 2001

I found this coffee floral and brightly buoyant when hot, and deeply dimensioned as it cooled. A hint of monotoned bitterness also emerged, however, which I tolerated, but which put off other jury members.

Special Reserve – Green

Volcancito 2 Estate

Review Date: Apr 2001

Pleasingly heavy, round, low-key, with a nicely balanced bittersweetness when hot. As the cup cooled sweetness enveloped the bitter tones and turned them pleasingly chocolate in the finish.

Special Reserve – Green

Maunier Estate

Review Date: Apr 2001

A hint of flowers and perhaps chocolate in the finish were the only complications in this straightforward but sweetly ingratiating cup. The chocolate tones may have revealed a slight twist of sweet ferment as the cup cooled.
