Rich, juicy and tartly sweet. Complex floral and fruit notes in aroma and cup: dusk flowers, black currant, dried berries, stone fruit. Sustained fruit-laced and bright-toned acidity that does not overwhelm or distract. Flavors soften and simplify in the finish.

Aromas of cocoa, aromatic wood and butter complicated by hints of nut and baking spices. In the cup gentle yet sustained acidity, round balance and cherry-like fruit and chocolate notes, with the cherry becoming particularly explicit as the cup cools. In the finish the chocolate turns bittersweet under the influence of a mild astringency.
