An elegantly balanced Caroni with a harmonious mix of sweetness, fruitiness, and signature smoky tar notes. Offers a touch of chocolate and mild dirtiness, enjoyable but may lack the punch for purists. Overall, a delightful, well-aged gem.

“A very successful bottling from Swiss Guildive. A classic 1998 with Caroni machine shop markers but counterbalanced by fruit aromas and cooked pineapple in particular. An alcoholic nose at first, but the pineapple and the dirty side are there immediately afterwards. A little smokiness on the palate, still with fruit and tire. A very long, velvety, elegant finish with chocolate. Still available from Guildive at a fair price for a Caroni of this class... a little below the 1996 Caroni all the same. Much better than the Caroni Adelphi in direct comparison.”
