Cachet 80% Uganda Dark Chocolate

About: Cachet is a Belgian brand. On my first eating of this brand, I wrote: "Not much Cachet here, I have to say. I was disappointed. "  But on second eating, I'm far less disappointed. Maybe that first encounter was just bad luck. Or maybe this bar was made with better beans.
  


Flavor:  In absence of strong competitive chocolate, this tastes fine. It's not overly processed, and the flavor is earthy, if not particularly fruity.I find it quite nice, and so it gets a +1 for flavor. Where it perhaps falls short is that the flavor isn't as long lasting and rich as some of the fresher, better bars.

Texture: Nice and creamy. Really pretty excellent, so another +1.

My rating: For a solidly good texture and a solidly completely-okay flavor, a good 7 on the scale below.

Rating Value	Meaning
1	Really bad chocolate. There's something just really really wrong here in almost every imaginable respect.
2	A bar with this rating has at least two drawbacks.
3	A bar where something is starting to get seriously wrong.... for example, really weak flavor with an otherwise acceptable texture.
4	This bar is below average, but just slightly. Mostly it's not worth eating again. Something isn't quite up to par, for example a poor texture but fine flavor.
5	This is an average good bar that's worth eating. There's nothing really wrong with it, but also nothing particularly spectacular. Or, perhaps it has a good characteristic that's evenly counter-weighted by something weak.
6	A solidly good bar with one characteristic that's above par, for example a great texture.
7	An solidly good chocolate that has two above par characteristics, but nothing mind-blowing. Good, above average flavor, but nothing to die for.
8	An excellent bar with no weaknesses and at least one characteristic that's super.
9	An awesome bar to die for with amazing texture and flavor.
10	You have been touched by God.
