Sehr geiler Caroni, der am Gaumen wesentlich mehr holt wie an der Nase. Die Verdünnung stört am Gaumen überhaupt nicht.
Wunderbarer Caroni mit einem feinen Spiel zwischen Alkohol und Aromen. Trotz oder gerade wegen seinem etwas geringerem Alkoholgehalt ist er wunderbar zu trinken und intensiv im Geschmack. Die Nase ist wunderbar intensiv und typisch für den 1974 Jahrgang. Für Caroni Liebhaber ein absolutes muss.
