The long finish, where chocolate continues alongside Demerara sweetness, gives the description a satisfying through-line. My preference leans toward brighter profiles, so this sounds like a richer direction than my usual choice; still, the notes are specific and well connected rather than relying on vague praise. A strong showing on its own terms, though freshness is not the quality leading the story here.
