Letterpress Peru Ucayali Private Reserve 70% cacao

This is a flavorful chocolate, with cherry and a faint maple note. The aftertaste is short-lived, but rewarding. The bar has a thin profile, allowing the chocolate to develop well on tasting. 9.3

Expensive at $18 for 2.3oz from Chocolate Covered. It is on the borderline of "worth it."

Godiva Dark Mexico 68% cacao

Rich chocolate flavor, tart with cherry notes. Clean aftertaste. 8.0

Ingredients: Unsweetened chocolate, sugar, cacao butter, butter oil (milk), natural flavor, emulsifer (soy lecithin).

I assume that the "natural flavor" is vanilla.

Koruna Pralines 80% cacao

This bar is quite bitter, not surprising from an 80% cacao bar. Earthy and woody flavors accompany the basic cacao taste. As expected, the aftertaste is persistent. 7.3

Website is in Czech. This is the second bar brought back from my colleague Kyle's recent European trip.
