From the tasting notes of the buyer at the bean auction in Brazil:
“Note: the Vintage is essentially the Reserve from the award winning 05 crop. Similar cup character with a little more pronounced body.
Reserve
Rich, well balanced chocolate, perfect ripe; syrupy smooth, great mouth feel, nutty, light citrus notes with a slight chocolate finish and nice Caramel flavour.
It is like a bar of dark chocolate. It has the potency and bitter-sweetness of a dry red wine, and the aftertaste is very much chocolate liqueur. Intense and complex.
Powerful aromatics, sweet pronounced floral fragrance and flavour, bold yet round and smooth, exciting finish. Very well balanced flavour, body and acidity.
Recommended Uses:
Daterra Reserve is the quintessential cup of single origin estate brewed coffee. Its delicate yet bold flowery aromatics carry through to the aftertaste creating an unforgettable cup.
Impact – Magnificent, remarkable and complex. A great coffee.
Aroma – Floral and sweet fragrances.
Flavour – Vanilla, Caramel, chocolate touch and honey
Sweetness – sparkling and gentle
Acidity – Refined acidity
Body – Refined and velvet body.
Aftertaste – Lingering chocolate”
