Flavor 42.8 / 50
blastic sweet tart from Mad & Dominican Rep, razor sharp, bordering fake fruit -> settles down to calmer, redder earth tones in a steadier progression toward hanging out in Ecuador -> late upsurge on hazelnut
Quality 17.6 / 20
Spans the globe, literally & figuratively, in the confines of your mouth. Domori just rolls the beans out on the floor to let the players play, & it's game on. So many moving parts coming together & amazingly it all works.
