Patric Rio Caribe Superior Venezeula 70% cacao

This is a flavorful chocolate with many layers of taste.  Most prominent is the fruit layer -- cherry and prune  flavors dominate, but there may be some citrus notes as well.  The next layer is a peppery tang -- not strong, just an undercurrent.  Last, some rum flavor -- perhaps a dimension of the prune flavor that's on top.  8.9

When I unwrap a bar and see the type of effort that was put into the look of the bar matching the work that went into the chocolate itself, I like to include that in my notes.  This bar has the Patric logo emblazoned across it, making it hard to know where to start in breaking it up for consumption. No problem working that out, though!

    From the label:
    "The Cacao from the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela carries hints of walnut, green olive, dried apricot and cherry. This results in a chocolate that is every bit as complex and flavorful as any chocolate available, yet surprisingly unique -- my careful handcrafting and use of only three ingredients ensures it.

    "Enjoy,
