Impact
Missing Persons Report on Richard Muszynski – the on again / off again maker: he’s back (temporarily).
Presentation 4.2 / 5
smart-looking set
Aromas 4.4 / 5
generally bright / citric, thanks to an organic 72% couverture from Madagascar
Textures/Melt 7.6 / 10
| Shells: | armor-all w/ good sheen & snap |
| Centers: | dense / firm structure |
Flavor 41.3 / 50
nicely dimensional: assertive ‘bass’ notes produce power implosion on at 1st draw, followed by mostly vertical-stacked flavors of those Madagascar brights
Quality 22.4 / 30
Uneven; some mathematically precise pieces, others imbalanced.
Selections
| Couverture: | claims in-house |
Coffee/Mocha - well-harmonized
Mint – pharmaceutical, even antiseptic, rather than food grade
