Blind Assessment

Bright, juicy and crisply fruit-toned. Black currant, cranberry, ruby grapefruit, candied violet and bittersweet chocolate in aroma and cup. Lively, wine-toned acidity; delicate, silky mouthfeel. The sweetly tart finish centers notes of black currant, ruby grapefruit and bittersweet chocolate.

Notes

Bottom Line

The bottom line: A lively, classically structured Kenya with vivid dark fruit, citrus and floral notes, supported by chocolate depth and a light-footed, refreshing profile.
