Blind Assessment

Honey, walnut, meadow flowers, tangerine in aroma and the cup, where the flowers deepen and the nut notes turn toward a crisp roasted cocoa nib. Brisk, rather pronounced acidity is softened by a floral sweetness. Silky mouthfeel. The tangerine-like citrus carries into a resonant, gently drying finish.
