I think this espresso is pretty solid but not quite a standout for me. It extracts nicely with a lovely crema and good mouthfeel. It is driven by a bittersweet chocolate note that is present through almost the entire palette and is in the aftertaste. I like this personally, but it's not quite as round/soft as you'd like. It carries some blackberry and lime acidity that is maybe a little sharp and simple.
I didn't really like the lattes made with espresso. My least favorite out of the 3 we had on hand. A bit bitter.
