Some fruit notes overlay a rich chocolate base, some cherry, some raisin. Very mildly bitter, with a gradually fading aftertaste. 8.8
I've reviewed one other bar sourced from Mexico, the Askinose Soconusco Mexico 75% cocoa. From my notes, it appears to be a very different tasting bar.
This bar and its partner, which will be reviewed later, have a flavor spider chart on the label. It is a compact way to show the impact of different flavor elements for comparison between bars. This bar is scored lower than 4 (on a 5 scale) on all dimensions, but "cocoa" and "chocolate" rate the highest (3.5 and 3). I am puzzled on the distinction they are trying to make between these two, as cocoa and chocolate are pretty much synonymous for me. Next highest are "bitter" at 1.5 and "acid" at 2.2. I might have gone lower on the bitter, but the acidic seems about right.

From the label:
"An extraordinary balance of red berries, raisin and chocolate. Deep notes of cocoa, and a clean acidity unite in a unique experience."
