This complex chocolate is generally mild. Besides a creamy moderate cacao, other core attributes are lower, and well balanced. Complementary attributes are many and all in low intensity, with fresh and browned fruits, nuts, hints of wood and vegetal notes. A pleasant caramel note lingers in the chocolatey long-lasting aftertaste.
