This harmonious chocolate is characterised by intense cacao, medium-high bitterness, and astringency. A low-medium acidity emerges, accompanied by hints of fresh berries, citrus, and browned fruits. Clear herbal notes develop, along with wood and very low spices (tobacco). The finish is fresh and cacao-based, though not very long.
