Yes! I found myself a match :D Really thick, masculine and has a very interesting ruberry undertone which stands out. I see lot of you put orange peel from the fruity notes, but I would rather go for kumquat.
I had heard differing opinions about this caroni but I found it sublime! I really like the dirty side it has throughout its tasting! Rich and intense flavors with endless persistence! My favorite caroni 2000!
Auto-translatedA very smooth, well-balanced Caroni. The nose is very sweet, reminiscent of some of the lighter, sweeter Caronis. Caramel candy, hints of hazelnut, pastry, menthol, oak and spices (cinnamon, chili, pepper, vanilla) proliferate in the nostrils alongside the house's typical hydrocarbon and rubber notes. A very gourmand and tempting profile. On the palate, we find an oily, intense rum, both sweet and dirty, combining petroleum notes with the sweetness of caramel, hazelnut and milk chocolate. A fine assortment of spices and woody, empyreumatic (smoky) notes linger on the palate. Fruit is virtually absent, but the sweetness of the profile balances the palate well. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is relatively long, warm and spicy. Hazelnut and smoky notes return with petroleum aromas, menthol and oak. Caramel and chocolate (particularly dark) give a sweet twist that complements the rest of the profile. A superb Caroni, accessible but very complete and dangerously drinkable.
Auto-translatedStrong Caroni in the usual high Velier quality. Doesn't have to hide next to the Last, even if it doesn't deliver the same "Caroni essence"
