    Too strong even with few drops of water...tasted better caroni

    On the nose, the alcohol is a bit too present. On the palate, however, one is rewarded with creamy, sweet-dirty associations. Beautiful 1997 Caroni. After 30 minutes under the glass lid, the alcoholic spiciness on the nose fades, but is still present.

    The 1997 Caronis are characterized by a rather concise reflection of the usual rubber and tar notes. In addition, there is also a strong impact of wood, spices, leather and licorice. Minimal sweetness from subtle dried fruit that reminds me of raisins. Overall, already very dry and tart - Caroni in the taste extreme.

    Alcohol could be better integrated.
