"Fruit takes center stage with sour apple, pineapple and acerola, backed by tar, rubber and machine oil. There's harmony and coherence on the palate. The aromas of the nose are present, and I sense a touch more chocolate. The finish is slightly acidic, which is a shame. It's long and all the aromas finish beautifully, with a wax-like perfume at the very end and in the empty glass, where smokiness and woodiness also appear, rather discreetly on the palate."
"#4128 Found out that this is not a cheap bottle så the free sample is really appreciated. Typical Caroni with rubber and tar and some light fruit notes. Balanced yet nice and warm on the palate. There is a medicinal note in the profile i can't put my finger on but it melts in pretty well with the rest. ABV os really well integrated. Draws nice slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some caramel and light tobacco."
"Wow, really surprisingly tasty and, from memory, certainly one of the best 1997s I know. On the nose and palate. There is enough dirt on both sides but also enough other aromas. Nice nut-chocolate with fruit on the nose. A little menthol is added on the palate."
"Ein sehr guter 97er Caroni mit ausgewogenem Charakter. Er vereint alle Aromen eines Caroni in harmonischer Zusammensetzung und ist einer der besseren 97er Abfüllungen. Es gibt sicherlich bessere Caronis, aber dieser muss sich wahrlich nicht verstecken."
