Blind Assessment

Elegantly fruit-toned, richly sweet. Dried black cherry, pipe tobacco, almond, vanilla, honeysuckle in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with gently brisk acidity; very syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates vanilla and cherry notes supported by pipe tobacco.

Bottom Line

A nuanced, sweetly earthy and fruit-forward Yemen with honey-like florals and notes of ripe stone fruit.
