Impact
A bar that epitomizes Heterogonie der Zwecke (Heterogony of Ends) from Austria's Herr Zotter. This principle entails the emergence of new developments during the course of a chain of events. It takes into account ever-shifting patterns of primary & secondary, even tertiary occurrences... things keep changing.
As with this bar's melt... for the better.

| Color: | antho-purple |
| Surface: | Zotter's trademark shimmer-... |
| Temper: | ...-glimmer |
| Snap: | a sawmill |
Aroma 8.6 / 10
lumberyard of fresh cut timber varnished in sweet butter... let it aerate for hours, if not days, & it oxidizes decent spice, floral & chocolate principles
Mouthfeel 12.1 / 15
| Texture: | endo-... |
| Melt: | ...-thermic |
Flavor 44.8 / 50
slow starter... flutters & butters around... some cinnamon bun -> back flower (purple peony) -> blackberry -> elderberry -> baby red banana -> vinous (just the vine, not the fruit) -> faint but reverberating cocoa char
A little too flabby on the butter. The Barithmetic (Cocoa mass / Butter / Sugar ratio) calculates as much: ~6:9:5. Ergo the Texture & beginning Taste. Once past that though, this bar really swings thru some archetypal Nacional hallmarks

Quality 16.2 / 20
Another bar. Another Ecuador. Another Zotter. Yawn... except all 3 together -- good barsmith / good seed selection / good chocolate -- adds up to a good get.
