Very crisp snap when broken. Fairly bitter compared to other Amedei I Cru bars tasted recently. Interesting flavors during tasting -- no citrus or fruit. The flavors are earthy, reminiscent of nutmeg. There's a gentle finish, but edging towards metallic. 6.8Additional note, July 25, 2010
When I first tasted this bar, I had just taken some medicine that may have affected my sense of taste. I saved a few pieces of this bar and tasted them today. I'm happy to report that the metallic taste is gone, and the bitterness that I noticed on first taste is reduced. I've revised the rating up to 7.2
