With rare cocoa varieties and high quality production, they are one of the most respected and in the last 5 years also internationally most accomplished independent manufacturers of high quality chocolate, they were therefore also selected in 2017 as the international newcomer of the year at the most famous award ceremony by the "Academy of Chocolate" in France.
Nicely designed packaging, an otherwise quite simple cardboard envelope to open and easily reseal via a sticker on the back. The bar is nicely wrapped in silky paper. Perfectly finished, as very few other manufacturers worldwide can do, silky matte finish on the bar, divided into different sized rectangles, some fluted, some smooth with a square in the middle and logo embossed.
Very dense, even cross-section after cracking, breaks medium hard to hard. Dark coffee bean brown.
Nose:
Nicely aromatic, dark & fruity but not overloaded, fresh plum, a little blackberry, subtle walnut, cherry and blueberry
Taste:
Toasted nuts and toasted oak at the start, earthy, subtly leathery, had expected a fruitier start, pine nuts, mocha, then really malty-grainy, exciting, some blueberry and cherry does come in now, fermented fruits
Finish:
Molasses, leather, slightly earthy and roasted, some fermented strawberry
92/100 Points
