Help translating tasting notes - what is "resolved"?

Discuss flavors, brew temperatures, blending, and cupping notes.

I was checking out a Rwandan coffee roasted by Verve earlier and came across this description:
Verve wrote:Tasting Notes // Fig, Concord, Resolved

Cup Characteristics: A jammy coffee with chewy notes of dried figs and fresh Concord grapes; the finish is resolved and lengthy as the fruit tones turn towards pure sweetness.
What's meant by "resolved," exactly? Thanks in advance for any info.

Not a standard term; but my guess is it's an optical analogy. That would mean the finish resolves the flavors, i.e., makes them more distinct.

Thanks, Jim. That sounds plausible to me.

Pondering this has made me moderately *resolved* to go buy another bag of Verve's coffee, though I haven't decided which one yet.
