Appearance: Opaque and viscous. The colour of dark drinking chocolate.
Aroma: Faint chocolate malted milk.
Flavour and Texture: Velvety rich chocolate with a slightly nutty, nougat-like note and the barest hint of alcohol presence. The texture is thick and palate-coating but not milky or creamy (nothing at all like Bailey's). There is a subtle powdery aspect to the texture, exactly like very rich, strong drinking chocolate made from 100% cocoa.
A very pleasant chocolate liqueur that is more than anything like a cross between a Ferrero Rocher and a cup of thick Italian drinking chocolate with just a spot of grappa. The aroma is rather distant, but the palate is strong, focused and not too sweet.
Hard-core spirit drinkers might dismiss liqueurs like Mozart, but it's hard to imagine anyone tasting this and actively disliking it. It's liqueur ganache in a glass - what's not to like?
"Very Good" : 87/100 (4.25 stars)
