Balanced, complete, yet wildly distinctive. Very sweet-toned aroma: table grape, spicy nut, flowers. All carry into the cup, where a crisp cocoa (dry, nut-toned chocolate) contributes complication and depth. Tart but softly fruit-toned acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Nut and cocoa in particular carry into the finish.

Aromatically complex and intense, highlighting notes of sandalwood, freshly fallen leaves, grapefruit and dried berry. Flavors round in the cup with grapefruit and aromatic wood dominating. Deep, fruit-toned sweetness lasts long into the flavor-saturated finish.
