Michel Cluizel Brazil Plantation Riachuelo 70% cacao

This bar has a quite smoky taste, with coffee notes. It is also fairly bitter, with a long aftertaste. 7.8

This is the first bar to be reviewed from my trip to Europe. I visited a number of chocolate stores while in Paris, and Michel Cluizel was the first. It was a pleasant store, with a small chocolate wall on display. The other stores I visited are noted in this thread posted on Twitter.

Post note: Just noticed that this bar includes vanilla in its ingredients. I have been avoiding rating bar with vanilla recently, so this is an exception to that rule.

Ingredients: cocoa from the plantation "Riachelo" (Brazil) sugar, cocoa butter, Bourbon vanilla pod.

From the label:
"Harmonious flavors of grilled cocoa, dried fruit and berries, mingling with bitter-sweet notes, in a delicately spiced chocolate and caramel long finish."
