【Impression】
Medium body, velours like texture.  Dried apricots flavor, with light acidity on base of dark, deep fruity sweetness.  Sweetness of fully-ripened apricots and figs, a touch of soothing bitterness and sourness, long lasting sweetness and bitterness as aftertaste.  A thick "sweetness" layer sandwiched between thin layers of sweetness and sourness, just like a "tram-stopper", to create well-balanced flavor.  
This cup may create wonderful nutty flavor with a little bit of cream.  Too rich for morning cup: Prefer to have this in a Fall afternoon with favorite books.
