Astor Dark Chocolate “Las Vegas”

I am visiting Las Vegas this week and bought the bar in a hotel snack shop. This is a basic dark chocolate whose ingredients include vanilla flavoring, which excludes it from rating. That flavoring comes through strongly. Its texture is somewhat rough. The aftertaste is sweet.

Solstice India Anamalai 70% cacao

The prominent taste of this bar is a buttery, caramel flavor. There is also a faint floral dimension, along the lines of honey and orange blossom. The bitterness is mild and the aftertaste relatively brief. 9.0
