Wow, this Caroni hits you smack in the face. When you open and pour there's no doubt this is a Caroni. The nose is intense with Caroni flavours, rubber, tar and petrol, wow. Wood, fruit and chocolate then pops out and a light hint of leather to finish off. The palate is picking up where the nose left off. Toasted oak, tar and rubber is there right off the bat followed by fruit and licorice a d i sence a minty/menthol note in there as well. The finish is very long, as in very long, dry and spicy with some tobacco and light fruits. A very good Caroni.
Very straightforward, weighty Caroni profile with distinct bitterness of smoke and coffee flavors. The depth of tropically aged Caronis with its aromatic complexity and balance remains unmatched, but the dry structure provides flavorful conciseness in a positive way. Among the 1997 Caronis definitely among the better bottlings.
