Incredibly complex and yet easy sipping. A real Caroni highlight!
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...
wow 😍 definitely one of my favorite Caronis! Everything that makes Caroni can be found here, dirty notes like tar and rubber discreetly between fruit, wood and spice. Mega complex and 1996 shows everything that makes Caroni. Definitely lives up to the hype surrounding the bottle.
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).
