    The nose is restrained. The typical Caroni associations are recognizable, but lack some depth and complexity. On the palate, a nice composition of dirty Caroni notes and a pleasant sweetness. Here the rather weak impression from the nose is made up for. The alcohol is well integrated. Bottom line, a good Caroni to enjoy an evening with. Postscript: after an hour of breathing, the nose unfolds and a great dark, toasty, chocolatey aroma with a nice sweetness emerges. The palate also makes a nice jump forward. Great creaminess. Definitely let it breathe. One is rewarded!

    Weder Fisch noch Fleisch. Nicht richtig dreckig, wenig Süße von allem ein bisschen ohne eine klar erkennbare Linie. Erinnert mich an den Bristol Caroni 10 VSOC. In der Zweitverkostung deutlich Charakterstärker! Gefällt mir gut. Ein solider Einsteiger-Caroni mit guter Power.

    Erkennbar ein Caroni, aber die typischen Noten sind hier an der Nase und am Gaumen etwas schwächer ausgeprägt. Den Caroni-Liebhabern wir es zu wenig sein, aber es wäre ein schöner Einstieg in die Caroni-Welt.

    Au nez on sait où l’on est ! Sans être extravagant on retrouve les marqueurs typiques Caroni ! Un peu de sale goudron essence ! Du fruit aussi En bouche l’alcool est assez bien intégré. On retrouve les marqueurs du nez Un joli Caroni sale mais pas trop !! J’aime vraiment bien
