The Remorse of Nero (JW Waterhouse)
show more »
Appearance   4.2 / 5
Color: nearly Nero black
Surface: shadowy
Temper: semi-flat
Snap: underground
Aroma   7.6 / 10
acrid fruit punctuates smoldering forest; plum-flavored tobacco smoked in a Savinelli pipe cut from cedar... espresso on the side (as well as balata w/ natural rubber bounce)
Mouthfeel   12.4 / 15
Texture: dense
Melt: fudge crawl
Flavor   42.7 / 50
enriched-cocoa superimposed on bread crumbs toasted in extra virgin olive oil -> cashew... while the city sleeps on this chocolate abundance, a fleeting flint of ash -> cooked raisin -> late-rising plum festooned w/ just enough acid to act as minor corrosive on streaming chocolate underneath which remains tame, even w/ burnt edge -> coffee lingers outbound
Quality   18 / 20
Rolls up several of Amedei’s Caribbean basin beans & squarely aims at the straightforward chocolate center-point (though less neutral than, say, Cluizel 72%). Nimbly straddles texture/flavor line, thick yet round, with lots of subtle eurhythmics (flashing bitter, tingling acidity) for quiet high wire intensity.
