Crisp yet lush aromatics carry from nose to cup: cocoaish milk chocolate, aromatic wood, flowers, ripe orange. As the cup cools the fruit and flowers soften to a voluptuous peach. Delicate but rich acidity, leanish but silky mouthfeel, peach- and chocolate-saturated finish.

Sweetly crisp aroma with suggestions of night flowers, cocoa, peach. In the cup the acidity is bright but smooth, mouthfeel lightly syrupy, flavor rich with continued night floral, lemony cocoa and peach notes, all of which carry into a long, sweet finish.
Intense, sweet-toned aroma: toast, baking spices. In the cup subdued fruit flavors hint at grapefruit before fading to a sustained rosemary- and sage-toned herb. Complications of cedar and bittersweet chocolate carry from the cup to the pungent finish.
Round aroma, displaying notes of nut-toned chocolate, aromatic wood and cinnamon. In the cup, balanced acidity, medium body and soft but complex flavors of tart orange-toned chocolate, more cinnamon and a floral hint. The chocolate turns crisply bittersweet in the finish.
