Quality   16.7 / 20
Dark in name only; goes down easy & creamy. Very vanilla-driven; the Tahitian variety plays steady hand in steering both direction & shape of taste, subduing acids in flavor of chocolate cream & florid finish. Relatively short, with a bump & a jump, that maps well the Mid-American palette.
