Blind Assessment
Sweet-toned floral, apricot and marmalade notes in the aroma. Bright fruity acidity and continued flavors of apricot and flowers in the cup supported by concentrated chocolate-toned, dried fruit sweetness. The fruity chocolate character deepens in the finish.

Who Should Drink It
Very explicit and pleasing sweet apricot notes suggest breakfast, but any time should be fine.
