Blind Assessment

Dazzlingly aromatic, citrus-driven, intensely floral. Mandarin, pink grapefruit, raspberry yogurt, lemon verbena and sugarcane in aroma and cup. Brilliant, sparkling acidity; buoyant, silky-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is exceptionally long and vivid, with citrus, berry and sweet herb notes continually resurfacing.
