Impact
Gets caught out in a flat stretch, tries changing course, runs into major obstacle – itself. Uninspired, dull, needs work.
Appearance 4.3 / 5
| Color: | crimson & brown |
| Surface: | proud coat of arms |
| Temper: | high reflector |
| Snap: | buttoneer |
Aroma 7.1 / 10
heavy brown-sugar / cinnamon continuum -> conjures weak coriander inside a cedar closet containing a red riot (cherries & grapes)
Mouthfeel 12.8 / 15
| Texture: | creamery - its saving element |
| Melt: | classic counterpoint to overall rustic approach |
Flavor 36.2 / 50
brown-sugar / chocolate-cinnamon runs dirt dry (Domincan organic)... flatliner... broken by red grape -> sharp shift to yellow fruit meets white grain for peach cobbler effect -> wakes up late on acid turn-out (obvious Madagascar: pineappple / sour cherry) -> comes to flat coffee stop
Quality 11.4 / 20
Segregated, compartmentalized &, despite respectable texture, hollowed out. CBS ~2:3:2
