Blind Assessment

Vibrant, juicy and intensely flavor-saturated. Red currant, pomegranate, pomelo, wisteria and dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Bright, complexly layered acidity; plush, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is crisp and lingering, with bred currant, pomelo and dark chocolate notes.

Bottom Line

A vivid, fruit-driven Kenya with brilliant citrus, sweet florals and deep chocolate tones, distinguished by exceptional flavor intensity and lively structure.
