Flavor 45.6 / 50
kicks the face right in & rocks you back w/ an endless & damaging torrent of roasted line-drives... hazels, Milk Choc, even sugar seems salted - all snap into alignment along a savory continuum
Quality 18.3 / 20
No pretense or playing around & none of the disjunct found in Bernachon's dark Noisettes. Seamless integration on taste (all components crystal clear & defined) if not texture (which in its own right, holds onto flavors for that extra pulse before unloosing their forces within... prolonging & heightening the sensation). Maintains such poise & constance as to never roll over into caramel (aided by the absence of vanilla). Just nails it & knocks it out.
