This balanced chocolate features good cacao with low to moderate bitterness and astringency. Mild fresh acidity emerges, offering hints of red berries, cherries, and tropical fruits, alongside subtle notes of raisins and vegetal/earthy tones. Light wood and nut skins and a lingering astringency support a mild sweetness in the aftertaste.
