Blind Assessment: Sweetly and deeply floral. Flowers (lilac, lavender), tangerine zest, honeydew melon, roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Round, juicy acidity; light, satiny mouthfeel. Flowers and cacao carry into a sweet, crisp finish.
Notes: From trees of the heirloom Bourbon and respected Caturra varieties. Huehuetenango is a particularly admired Guatemala growing region.
