Chocolate flavour profile description

This chocolate is dominated by a strong cacao base, and good browned fruits (dates). Low acidity and hints of fresh fruit appear shortly, leaving woody, nutty and vegetal notes to develop. The moderate bitterness spans all along, until an equally moderate astringency rises towards the end.
