"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Beautiful Caroni with the classic sweetness of the '96 vintage. Relatively dry on the palate, the tannins dry out the mouth directly and prepare the ground for tar and rubber, wood, pepper, aniseed and coffee as well as the obligatory heavy 96 caramel sweetness. The alcohol content is also noticeable and provides some fire. All in all, a strong but nevertheless well-rounded profile and a worthy 96 Caroni that grows on me a little more with every new tasting. A great release."
"One of the more balanced and „sweeter“ bottling compared to some of his Velier brothers. Amazing stuff. Cheers to Jakob for the sample 🙂"
"Extremely palatable caroni and atypically little smoky and rather very spicy. Definitely a lot of fun! 💯👌😍 I wouldn't blindly classify it as caroni, it's almost too mild and not as dirty, smoky as we know it. But definitely extremely tasty! By the way, it was a bottlekill on site 😃"
"Excellenter Caroni mit klassischen nicht übertriebenen Aromen. Fast schon ein angenehmer Abend-Sipper"
