    "Mentholig, frische Nase, die an Gin erinnert. Gefällt mir persönlich nicht so gut. Am Gaumen verschwindet die Gin-Note und eine tolle Cremigkeit und Würze kommt zum Vorschein. Insgesamt überwiegt aber der negative Eindruck der Gin-Nase."

    "Flawless Caroni 2000 with a typical profile. Some hints of moroccan pastries add more complexity. Probably the best from this vintage !"

Nose Fresh, wood, light roasted, light mint, pine, faint wood and tar, light nutts. Palate Oily, balanced, wood, light roasted, light floral, light rubber, cherry, light caramel, faint tar. Finish Long and warm, light rubber and tar, dried fruit, light floral. Extra note ABV pretty well integrated."
