Blind Assessment

Exceptionally rich, complex, deeply sweet. Black cherry, dark chocolate, gardenia, maple syrup, cedar in aroma and cup. Lively, beautifully integrated acidity; sumptuous, elegant, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is long, flavor-saturated and resonant, centered around dark chocolate, black cherry and maple syrup notes

Bottom Line

A magnificent Kona SL34: opulent, deeply sweet and sensuously structured, with lush fruit and spice-toned florals framed by dark chocolate.
