    14.08.2015 A nice evening out with friends from Copenhagen and Malmö. Notes Dark in colour. Nose Intense, wood, light smoke, caramel, light tar, orange, rubber. Palate Oily, wood, tannins, light mint, faint smoke, dried fruit, tar, rubber, faint caramel. Finish Very long, wood, tannins, roasted, raisin, citrus, light tar and rubber.

    Sehl lecker. Ölig wurde oft erwähnt und trifft es ausgezeichnet. Durch die doch sehr zurückhaltende Frucht kommt er mit wenig Dreckigkeit aus, die aber dann auch völlig ausreicht um zu wirken. Sehr schönes Mundgefühl.

    one of the few typical caronis that I actually like, metallic, spicy, heavy and dirty. not as exaggerated only after rust and metal as other today's bottlings but really still nicely balanced and oily.

    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.
