Description: This is a wonderful cup with subtle complexity. Up front, you pick up on delicate sweet notes of berries, alongside juicy notes of stonefruit. Soon after, you get subtle notes of gentle florals, accompanied by a building syrupy sweetness and more present acidity as it cools. The body is light medium, and the mouthfeel is juicy and creamy. The finish is a lingering note of sweet vanilla and subtle nuttiness.
