About: Lindt is a major manufacturer of chocolate with fantastic distribution. You can buy this chocolate everywhere in the world, and you're getting a decent bar. In today's world of boutique this-and-that's, a major, widely distributed brand is automatically labeled as not quite as good. How can you boast about the fantastic find you made on a major international brand? But though Lindt creates some fantastic chocolate, for example their Lindt balls, which are sweet but to die for, this bar in particular is not one of their stronger offerings.
Flavor: The vanilla flavoring in this bar comes through very strongly. It completely dominates initially, with the chocolate only coming in after. There's nothing wrong with vanilla, but I see this as a weakness. While the chocolate flavor here is smooth - the cacao doesn't seem to have been burned, and it's not burdened by the severely bitter and sour taste that many other dark bars suffer, I find it to be somewhat flat. The flavor is not nuanced, and the rich, earthy fruity flavors you can find in top-notch bars is missing here.
Texture: It's okay. Somewhat brittle, and not a world class level of creaminess, but it's pretty good.
My rating: 8 on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. This is one of the best bars I have had.
