A “bitter” liar. Total TLC. Practically a chocolate chambord.
Appearance   4.1 / 5
Color: quite a sight – brown, for sure, but so much purple & red shift going on
Surface: front side: medal of honor; backside: more swirling than a flowing skirt
Temper: polished
Snap: midnight quality, soft finger-snapping, signaling “over here”
Aroma   8.9 / 10
overall tender: banana / prune custard (emphasis prune) -> spice bread (cinnamon / ginger; emphasis cinnamon) -> flowerberry liqueur (black / raspberry) -> deep mocha -> buried peanut
Mouthfeel   12.2 / 15
Texture: medium body/weight, serves flavors well
Melt: ever yielding
Flavor   45.2 / 50
chocolate cinnamon -> mocha -> tiny peanut on a evergreen counter -> papaya / jasmine -> black / raspberry -> fruited chocolate liqueur
Quality   18.8 / 20
Lots of Arriba in the mix flavor. Horizontal wood plank with cinnamon / mocha holds up a vertical stack for feathered fruit caressing the taste buds. Easy for its 80% class, with more than merely butter to temper tannins & acids - a well selected & executed blend. CC possesses an identifiably agile hand as soft as petals. Only minor cavil: amplitude.
