by The Nēnē Lonohana · La Altagracia, Dominican Republic · rated 4.7/5
This dark chocolate unfolds like a contemplative ocean breeze, its briny seaweed and salt notes dancing over the palate with a whisper of toasted bread crust. A sultry undercurrent of port emerges mid-taste, adding a velvety sweetness that contrasts beautifully with its buttery texture and refined bitterness. The finish is luxuriously long, as if the waves themselves are reluctant to retreat.
