    "Une couleur pĂąle pour un Caroni. C’est presque un nez d’agricole avec des herbes amĂšres et de la cane. Les fruits sont lĂ , poire et coings avec de l’huile de machine Ă  coudre. Des fruits tropicaux pas mĂ»rs Ă  l’arriĂšre-plan. Une attaque douce en bouche, presque acqueuse avec un petit cĂŽtĂ© acide. Je ne sens pas le cĂŽtĂ© agricole mais la poire est bien lĂ  avec des fruits tropicaux pas mĂ»rs. La finale est longue, sur les fruits et le tout s’attĂ©nue doucement. Le cĂŽtĂ© agricole et herbacĂ© rĂ©apparaĂźt tout Ă  la fin et dans le verre vide. Un beau rhum, meilleur que sa rĂ©putation, que j’aurais peut-ĂȘtre classĂ© parmis les agricoles Ă  l’aveugle. A part un arĂŽme d’huile de machine Ă  coudre, il n’a rien d’un Caroni et encore moins d’un Caroni de 1996. AprĂšs une demi-heure, dans le verre vide, se dĂ©veloppent quelques arĂŽmes d’atelier mĂ©canique. Bon et intĂ©ressant mais pas convaincant et surtout trop diluĂ©."

    "Nase: fruchtig und leicht kĂŒnstlich. Apfel und Bergamotte. Aber nicht so deutlich, eher stumpf. Und auch das kĂŒnstliche hĂ€lt sich zurĂŒck. Etwas angeschmorte Kabel oder Knetmasse. Gaumen: kaum noch Fruchtigkeit, kaum dreckig. Sehr verdĂŒnnt und kurz. WĂŒrzig ist er, Sternanis, Lakritz, viel Lakritz, etwas Nelke. Leicht salzig. Kurz im Abgang, hier ist Lakritz dominant, vielleicht noch etwas kĂŒnstliches, aber insgesamt zu flach."
