    I like quite well ... not as dirty as often with Caroni (clear many love it exactly therefore) I find the interplay of the typical Caroni notes (rubber, leather, tar, etc.) with the yet beautifully fruity character great. Hints of chocolate and dried fruit.

    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.

    In meinen Augen kein sonderlich interessanter Caroni. Wenig dreckige Noten, wenig Süße, leicht säuerlicher Abgang. Hier fehlt mir das harmonische Zusammenspiel aus Frucht, Süße und dreckigen Noten leider
