Chocolatier Chantal Coady's tasting notes:
This bar has strong chocolatey aromas on the nose followed by slightly sweet tart berry and tropical fruit notes with hints of citrus. This builds to a clean cocoa-rich finish with hints of nectar. Truly representative of the trinitario cocoa variety that the island is famous for.
