    Les caroni trop huile de garage ou pneu de vél ou jus de vieux bois mouillé, c'est pas mon truc, donc souvent, j'aime bien mais sans plus. Mais alors celui ci me montre que ça peut être vraiment classe! Vieux bois à la cire d'abeille avec une belle fraîcheur en prime. Très élégant, très agréable, très bon. J'ai pas gouté 50 caroni, mais celui la c'est le meilleur que j'ai eu. Content de le partager pour le faire découvrir, mais si j'avais la chance d'en ravoir une, je la prends de suite!

    Ich sag nur danke Serge das ich den Rest von deinem Sample probieren durfte. Und natürlich Rodolphe, der mal wieder eine sehr gute rare Flasche für viele Leute zugänglich gemacht hat. Sehr sehr lecker.

    So that's a beautiful caroni again ❤️ the smell already predicts that we're going to check out the garage. It's all there, oil, thinner, beeswax, a little fruit. It's beautiful. Let's drink. This is more of a sweeter caroni profile, but the sweetness just packs the technical notes beautifully. These develop immediately in the first sip and last all the way through the long finish. I am thrilled!

    Schöne Wachs- und Bienenwaben Noten, die sich zum Gebrannten Zucker und zum Gummi gesellen. Am Gaumen gibt er sich etwas alkoholisch und es fehlt die luxuriöse Cremigkeit der tropischen Cousins. Wenig Frucht.
