This unique and complex chocolate starts with a moderately creamy cacao. Rapidly a fresh acidity appears, with fresh berries and citrus, and browned fruits like dried apricots. This combination is underscored by light and dark wood. The finale is back to cacao, with moderate and balanced astringency and bitterness.
