"An initial aroma of bittersweet dark chocolate, orange peel, and herbs; air contact stimulates scents of flowers, jasmine, bark, forest, honey, and very light quinine. The palate entry is intensely sweet and floral; at midpalate the taste profile turns cocoa-like with notes of citrus rind, molasses, brown sugar, and grass. Concludes sweet, thick, and luscious." 90-95 pts.

"Displays early botanical scents of orange peel, fresh not dried coriander, red cherry, pekoe tea and cucumber. Palate entry is sweet at first then it quickly turns mildly bitter and botanical; by midpalate, there’s a slight sweetness of tangerine/mandarin peel. Aftertaste is moderately bittersweet and citrusy." 90-95 pts.

"The opening pass is like an open market for mountain herbs, flowers, and spices. The midpalate explodes with herbal/rooty/floral tastes including dried fruit, fruit peel, quinine, cassia bark, and fruit stone."
