On the nose it does not give its best, in fact it seems less strong than expected. On the palate, however, it arrives with all its typical tar and barrel strength. A great Caroni!
A fine Caroni from '98, first fruity, then with mechanical workshop aromas. The palate is suave, with milk chocolate, tropical fruit and noble oak. The finish is long on rubber, smoke and wood. Empty glass like dark chocolate and fruit. I like it a lot and it's better with oxidation.
very relaxed caroni! nice mix of dried fruits like date and raisin, fruit bread and dark chocolate, as well as the typical smoky and medicinal gum and iodine notes, plus some mocha, honey and leather.
8,6:On the nose, we cannot miss Caroni marks, with intense industrial accents like tar, rubber, roasted wood with nuts, toffee, spicy with ginger and dried fruits like raisins, dates. On aeration, a molasses brings a black tea, minty with floral hints, an orange is there, so are dried apricots and from wood, cinnamon and cocoa. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is strong, dirty with tar, rubber, medicinal with menthol, fruity with dried fruits, citrus, spices like cinnamon, umami, vanilla, roasted, smoky wood with nuts, leather, cocoa, later chocolate and dark, herbaceous, vegetal molasses, especially with black tea. 8,3:The finish is long, a bit imbalanced with strong dirty, industrial tones like petrol, tar, rubber, very dry, tannic, otherwise with similar notes as on the palate, well, new might be some confectionery, honey..
