“A Caroni with a full but discreet profile on the nose, rather greedy and turned towards tar, oak, leather and menthol before red fruits and citrus fruits appear. The typical Caroni taste is repeated on the palate, but much sweeter and chocolatier. The whole is oily and round, but lacks the aroma and power of other Caroni. The finish is moderately long, falling short of expectations in terms of taste. Aromas of leather, licorice and menthol mingle with spicy, caramelized, tobacco and chocolate notes, but the whole struggles to stay on the palate and convince. A subtle Caroni that needs a few more degrees to be more expressive.”

“einer der wenigen typischen caronis die mir tatsächlich gefallen, metallisch, würzig, schwer und dreckig. nicht so übertrieben nur nach Rost und Metall wie andere heutige Abfüllungen sondern wirklich noch schön ausgewogen und ölig.”

“Nicely balanced. Chocolate, creamy cappuccino, Leder and a pleasant level of dirt. Not very heavy on the fruity side. This is an excellent „sipping Caroni“ - very nice texture.”
