“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 will undoubtedly be better with oxidation.”
