Impact
3 degrees of raspberry - from tart... to sweet... then liqueur – get you oh so close to it; if this were a celebutard, your iPhone would be taking pictures.

Quality 17.9 / 20
Dialed-in tart & tangy focus, balanced & braced between chocolate & oaken wood (re: vanilla). Valrhona uses sugar like an ant-acid &, except for its ameliorating techniques, this would’ve seared the tongue as so much nail polish remover.
