Pecans are grown around the American South & perhaps no place is more synonymous with it & them than New Orleans (pronounced Naw'lins by locals).
A raucous bar to match the town renowned for jazz, gumbo, Saints & Mardi Gras.

Appearance 3.8 / 5
| Color: | battered rouge |
| Surface: | scuffed & scarred (add in a riot of pecans + wrinkled dried fruits the look & size of jumbo raisins) |
| Temper: | hot |
| Snap: | short |
Aroma 7.6 / 10
pecans bowl over cocoa & dormant-lying cherries; fairly 1-dimensional
Mouthfeel 10.8 / 15
| Texture: | cobbled |
| Melt: | ragtime |
Flavor 36.4 / 50
as expected pecans lead the procession, meaty & bouncy, shaded by tart cherries calmed in cocoa butter -> brassy riot of flavors as the 3 primes clash... taste-pandemonium breaking in all directions -> tobacco snuff at the tail
Quality 14.9 / 20
Very sequential & layered.
DR's cacáo rather indistinct as the other components largely negate it.
Sometimes improv works; other times it flops.
ING: cocoa mass, sugar, pecans, dried cherries, vanilla
