Flavor   43.4 / 50
chocolate cinnamon charge -> drops a register before cassia-orange hydraulic lift -> roasted cocoa -> progressively light & gauzy blackberry drape holds up shimmering acids in a long unfurling to vanilla-coffee & almond blossom offsets along w/ more of, this time around glittering, cinnamon
Quality   17.8 / 20
Tremendously even-handed, ambidextrous approach, perhaps too much so, lending a slightly subdued & overly controlled effect – tad too much fat / spoonful too much sugar. Spells out nonetheless e l e g a n c e.
