Chocolate flavour profile description

It starts with moderate core attributes. Vegetal and light wood notes appear with a pleasing astringency. Low acidity, hints of berries, tropical fruits, and raisins follow. The end develops wood, nut skins, and hints of flowers, vanilla anise. The clean finish lingers with astringency, cacao, and spices. Unique and complex.
