"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: An almost endless bouquet. The classic Caroni notes interact magnificently with fruit, wood and an exquisite sweetness, resulting in a fantastic complexity. An outstanding representative of the Caroni style, and not just in comparison with other bottlings from the remarkable 1996 vintage. Or to put it another way: A better one is yet to be found. And this journey will continue in 2023..."

"Still absolute top notch out of 96 and out of the Velier Caronis overall. Leaning a bit more towards the dirty notes vs. 30th and 34th, yet still incredibly balanced, delivering everything you would expect (and more)."
