15.05.2020 Went out for a nice dinner bringing some bottles. Notes Dark to very dark in colour. Nose Wood, roasted, light caramel, tar, faint rubber, fruits, citrus. Palate Oily, wood, roasted, raisin, citrus, tar, rubber, faint coffee, chocolate, faint licorice. Finish Long and warm, wood, light tar, rubber, fruits, light anise.
Schöner 98er Caroni. Dreckige Noten von vorwiegend Teer und etwas Benzin und Gummi treffen auf Holz, Gewürze, Vanillesüsse, dezente Fruchtnoten - ein rundes Profil, vielschichtig, akzentuiert, ohne zu austauschbar zu werden. Sehr guter 1998er Caroni.
