    Typical Caroni with dirty notes which, however, does not offend anywhere. Alcohol wonderfully integrated. A very nice bottling.

    Pretty well priced Kill Devil compared to what you get. The nose has the typical Caroni with tar and rubber as well as wood, leather, tropical fruits and light vanilla. The palate lives up to the nose with tar and rubber complemented by fruit, leather and a hint of vanilla. The finish is medium to long with wood, rubber and dried fruits.
