FORM
The visual presentation of the product is appealing, with a shiny appearance and rich color reminiscent of tapenade. While the overall look is enticing, the presence of small chunks could be more evenly distributed for a more consistent visual appeal.

LINGER
The lingering aftertaste highlights the sweetness of onions and the tomato essence, leaving a honey-like sensation on the palate. Strengthening the presence of black garlic in the aftertaste could further enhance the depth and complexity of the lingering flavors.

VITALITY
The taste profile showcases a harmonious blend of sweet balsamic vinegar, thyme freshness, and rich tomato flavors, with black garlic subtly rounding off the ensemble.
