Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée
by Alain Ducasse
Impact
Appearance 3.2 / 5
| Color: | light milky cast |
| Surface: | flakes + pinholes |
| Temper: | dull & bored with itself |
| Snap: | a thumper |
Aroma 5.6 / 10
fuel-injected Snickers®... literally... as PNG's propane-dried peaty cocoa nuts exude peanuts lathered in added vanilla
Mouthfeel 13.4 / 15
| Texture: | foils, as in hydrofoils |
| Melt: | fluid |
Flavor 35.1 / 50
direct copy of the Aroma -> add a fat candlenut + sour backstop -> legume -> blanks some on butter -> sunflower & sacha inchi seeds -> lime tonic
Quality 12.7 / 20
Sensational fluid dynamics in the Texture, thanks to sunflower lecithin's special-FXs, which alternately slams the brakes on & off the Flavor. In that respect, Ducasse has found a half-way decent pairing for it in a PNG.
While still learning with the training wheels set, this is little different than the labels' other early starts except it crashes into a good accident. Chalk it up to a better seed allotment next to, say, the atrocious Ducasse Java from a neighboring island in Oceania.
Bulk in its hap-hazardous glory.
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, sunflower lecithin, vanilla
