Michel Cluizel Noir 72% Bar

Today, I'm having the Michel Cluizel Noir de Cacao 72% 100g chocolate bar. I purchased it in downtown philadelphia 3 days ago. It tastes stronger than your typical comparable 72% bar made by Michel Cluizel. It seems to have a stronger cacao taste, almost as if it were too roasted. I can still make out the fermented flavors of the bean. I like to say it tastes like purple. If such a thing is possible. But that's what comes to mind when I taste it. This is definitely not one of my favorite bars, there are definitely better ones in the Michel Cluizel line, so I'l post as I get to them again. But I wouldn't turn this bar away if it were a choice amongst the stuff you normally find in your average store. Its taken me 5 minutes to type this on my blackbeery and I can still taste the cacao aftertase. Very strong indeed.
