This is a very mild bar. It has the basics nailed, with clean taste and moderate to low bitterness. Some faint orange notes are present. After most recently tasting the Dick Taylor Belize bar, which had so much happening, this bar is like entering the reading room of a library. Quiet. Thoughtful. 8.0
This is the first Michel Cluizel bar from the "1er Cru de Plantation" series that I have tasted in some time. All of the bars in the series have cacao content below 70%, which may take away a little punch, but does allow the subtle aspects of the cacao to come through.

From the label:
"This plantation located in the Chiapas region perpetuates the local age-old tradition by producing unique taste cocoa beans. First to burst into the mouth, the powerful notes of cocoa and fruits turn in a second time into dried fruit flavors."
