Beautiful carnage
Appearance   4.1 / 5
Color: warm shade of medium brown tinted light orange
Surface: thick bar; clean, classically-scored tablet; pocked almonds on the back
Temper: semi-slick
Snap: broken by too many almond bits
Aroma   8.5 / 10
deep-field almonds, cocoa, green coffee berry, tobacco leaf, garrigue Provençal herbs topped by a rare (for Bernachon) berry tone & slivered starfruit
Mouthfeel   10.2 / 15
Texture: hard scrub scrabble
Melt: exfoliates into carnage
Flavor   43.6 / 50
buzzes out flowers & fruit-laden honey, including a dreamy lavender that meets-up chocolate -> gorgeous black raspberry -> nuts deciphering the background, their grilled flint coming fore -> charred, though forgiving, bitter... the precursor to rampant almonds to the finish; recombinant aprés-taste
Quality   17.8 / 20
Multi-structured as components divide in a little French deconstruction, never to re-unite until... the after-length! Honey really alters the play here, generating atypical flavor for Bernachon but in keeping with his character to go against the grain, & that bitter nicely balancing out the profile brings it all home.

ING: cocoa mass 55%+, sugar, ground almonds, honey, vanilla bean, non-GMO lecithin
