Successful combination; decent enough to be intriguing but short of good enough to blow you away.
Appearance   3.6 / 5
Color: rosewood
Surface: pocked, chipped, & welted
Temper: translucent
Snap: the ‘big deep’ & resonating, exposing dried berry fragments along the break
Aroma   6.8 / 10
w/ so many additives onboard, a dry/dusty disappointment: rosehips takes the lead, raspberry-concentrate the support (eventually spreads out candied jam) against cocoa powder backdrop
Mouthfeel   12.9 / 15
Texture: dense
Melt: interminable
Flavor   40.1 / 50
red bomb -> toasted cocoa steadies the length -> rosehips comes rushing, burns the chocolate then turns it slightly astringent & eventually buries any trace of berries
Quality   16.2 / 20
Rosehips adds warm depth but, similar to its ‘Lavender’ sister bar, overdrawn & heavy-handed, altering (& nearly assaulting) overall profile to its ultimate detriment.
