Philip Marks Bolivia 68% cacao

The bar has a light touch on the bitterness scale, quite smooth. The flavor profile tends towards the nut and earthy side, but again, quite light. The finish is clean and sweet. 8.2

I tasted this same bar two and a half years ago, and it appears I have it a very similar rating: Philip Marks Bolivia 68% cacao I am not noticing the cherry and honey notes mentioned in that review, but perhaps that is due to changes in my tasting rather than the bar.
