June 2008. Each year, Mack Domori hand selects the three cacao varietals that will make up the year’s Blend N°1. Open the package and admire the deep matte brown color of this year’s masterpiece.
Ingest the powerful floral aroma. Roses? Break off a small piece and roll it on your tongue. A bit tart. Feel the smooth creaminess as the tartness fills your mouth and turns sweet and the hint of roses transforms to a taste of spices and perhaps tobacco. Tannic, but not bitter; not bitter at all. Feel the warm peppery aftertaste fill your nasal passages. Close your eyes and let the chocolate linger. This chocolate has a long, deep aftertaste; it will stay with you for a very long time.
