Non bitter, thin skinned, clustered, golf ball sized?

It must be the year or environmental or something. I've grown Chocolate Cherry for several years and it's always been an OK variety for me. Not great, but not a spitter.

For several years I grew Chocolate Cherry and Brown Berry and CC is definately better for me. Then about 3 seasons ago I finally found seeds for Black Cherry and added that to my blend. Black is the definate winner in taste for me.

Last year I also got Negro Azteca and by accident it and BC were right next to each other. They LOOK almost identical in size and color and splitting this year. But NA has a more agressive or "red" taste to me. Some customers liked NA better, some liked BC better. Some liked BC so much that they didn't care that it split so much and still bought what I had at the market.
