This exquisite lot comes from the best of Cauca auction—"Subasta por la Paz," or "Auction for Peace." In our opinion, this was the standout lot of the entire competition, and we found ourselves in a nail-biting bidding war with a buyer from the Middle East. We believe it was well worth the price and this truly superlative lot has a complex flavour profile of berries, stone fruits, dried fruit, and milk chocolate, complemented by heady floral aromas. The cup delivers a silky mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, and a lingering sweetness.
