Vertical stack, more constant than intense, poured into a foundation of solid base chocolate.
Appearance   3.8 / 5
Color: Rio Red (iron-filings in a dirty river of brown)
Surface: rustic
Temper: pro-shine
Snap: bang-on; sanded-down break wall
Aroma   7.3 / 10
freeze-dried version of Domroi’s Rio Caribe 100: robust, dark, & sharp; tall like mahogany; add mushrooms, green tobac, green grape
Mouthfeel   13.1 / 15
Texture: angular at the beginning turns...
Melt: ... into viscous workout & ultimately round
Flavor   42.7 / 50
vertical stack: from the bottom – firm chocolate base / honey / Mack’s signature cashew-cream in the mid-palate crossed by a little almond & baby banana / darker shades (fruit & spice around mahogany: raisins, licorice, mace) / herbal greens (tobacco, clary sage, German chamomile ) / all topped off by sweet nectarine-kissed frangipani; slight linear movement along an acid crease to cherry cordial ending -> fudge & small tremor of magnesium in the after-glow
Quality   17.8 / 20
Self-contained & among the most divergent from its 100% parent in Domori’s Cru Line. Greater constancy than intensity with remarkable integration rivaling Coppeneur’s parrallel sequencing on its better days in better bars.
