Michel Cluizel - Grand Noir 85%, dark chocolate bar

Possibly the most consistent in flavour of all the 85 percent bars I have tried and so perfection in my opnion. Given that it is an 85% cocoa content its not at all astringent or burnt tasting as you often find with cheaper chocolate bars (cocoa beans). So the quality comes through. I recommend.

A very good chocolate bar but I thought a little lacking in flavour compared to some of the other bars I had delivered. Admittedly it doesn't have the astringency attached to cheaper, high cocoa chocolate but I did want something a little more similar to the Domori bar I had which had a really heavy roast, also like the Pralus bars which I read, and tasted, are more full roasted in flavour. I obviously like the roasted types more. I do like Michel Cluizel chocolate generally though and have a soft spot for French chocolate.
