Why not review these bars on the website? They are quite widely available.

Apologies if there are already plans to do this.

My local chocolate retailers finally started stocking the 2003 vintage bars a few weeks ago. I had a little bit of a 2002 Valrhona Chuao bar that I’d saved for the occasion, so I could do a comparison.

The result: A huge difference! While the 2002 is slightly fruity and smooth as Valrhona always is, the 2003 has a lot more of the bright red fruit and blueberry flavor that Amedei’s Chuao has. I could never understand what the big deal about the Chuao plantation was when I’d only tried the 2002, but the 2003 is a lot more convincing. (Amedei’s makes the big deal very clear IMHO, but that’s a separate topic.)

Has anyone else noticed this? Is my 2002 bar just past its prime? Its best-by date is January 2004, so.

That’s great to hear – I’ve been dissapointed by the Valrhona Chuaos up until now, apart from the very first year. I have a bar here for review … must try it soon, but so many to catch up on!
