Color:	maple brown; sienna tint
Surface:	lumpy
Temper:	low gloss
Snap:	clean & literal

spring-loads right out of the box where chocolate can be tasted in the air... so pervasively part of the scenery, just breathing-in causes cavities: alcohol-fruit ferment (the color-coded label portends shades of reds... currant, persimmon, plum, apricot, & raspberry) sits atop clean, naked chocolate underneath deep smoked alderwood; by Domori standards, a hot roast, matched by acid sparkle, equaling supreme balance

Texture:	light for a 78% despite 1 of the few bars in which Domori adds back cacao butter (tantamount to cheating in his lexicon)
Melt:	fluid

aroma gives it away & then some... red dazzle to a Burgundy wine distilled from alderwood cask -> the blend just beginning & yet already beautiful, unique, & original -> flooded by chocolate cream for caramel effect -> unexpected blueberry plume -> settles back into an apricot / alcohol mix -> evaporates red currant & cool tobacco -> goes dark on chocolate

Vitally seamless, so well-integrated, no disjoint whatsoever between Carenero & Rio Caribe (among others). Equilibrium & symmetry – articulated across both horizontal & vertical planes – creates rare balance. Once the blend is in, the compound becomes simple in its complexity... with a cold-fusion demeanor.
