    "A Caroni with an original profile to say the least: apart from the initial hydrocarbons, one feels mostly fruits (apricot, orange peel and dried fruits), tobacco, grass, spices, honey, caramel and chocolate. Quite sweet and confusing for a Caroni. The attack on the palate starts with hydrocarbons before melting into spices, tobacco, vanilla and tropical fruits. A slightly smoky profile but still smooth. The finish is quite long, dipped in rubber, some tar, a hint of saltiness, earthy and fresh notes of grass and tobacco. A roasted and bitter feel comes through. A different profile from Caroni, well integrated but slightly lacking in depth to be top notch."

    "Première dégustation ! Un hydrocarbure mielleux et parfumé, très différents des veliers mais délicieux. Le côté caoutchouc se ressent légèrement sur l'attaque, se retrouve mélangé à des fruits secs, à ce miel qui lui donne un côté légèrement huileux très appréciable, et reviens plus marqué en finale.

    "Note définitive plus tard. Dégustation d'un sample de 6cl. Nez très hydrocarbures mais paradoxalement pas aussi sale que cela. Certainement que l'aspect "floral" et réglissé y est pour quelque chose. Des fruits compotés aussi, du verger jusqu'aux tropicaux. Diverses huiles essentielles. À déguster de nouveau pour confirmer la note et préciser les arômes."

    "Du pur Caroni, avec le corage le goudron, le caramel et des fruits biens gourmands En bouche, le piment répond à cette grosse gourmandise La finale est infiniment longue. Top"
