Color:	saturated brown / shadowy purple inlay
Surface:	great; minor grease pixals on the back
Temper:	rearview mirror material
Snap:	crisp, exposing rough hewn brick

deep cast but closed: dried vines, brambles, creosote, leaves; liner notes read “flowers” & “perfume” but actually closer to flax & petrol; time & aeration opens up more common Arriba honey ramiflora - though still stifled

Texture:	somewhat dry, pasty, & heavy
Melt:	coaxing along then leaves astringent

cocoa wolfpack storms the gates -> then quickly manuka honey catches stone wrapped in bitter walnut shell -> briefly ramiflorous (predominantly the branch part of it) -> citronella because things get buggy & moth-like, setting-up introgression of later organisms but 1st -> abbamele, that ‘must’ of molasses, honeycomb, coffee & caramel which forms a forest floor for those dogs now-turned traversing horny hedgehogs nibbling right thru alluvial soils, burrowing for earthworms & berries beneath the undergrowth (taste of elderberry; astringency & bitterness of chokeberry), find pomegranate instead & molest it like she’s Persephone herself -> goes to bed on coffee & tobacco

Bold constancy underlying flavor-progression thanks to Bonnat’s firm trademark roast, creating a 'stone-ground' feature becoming more vogue among artisan labels working Nacional. Otherwise, well tailored mass-butter-sugar ratio.
