Review by Chrischi78
Very balanced, pleasant, typically complex Caroni profile but with a subtle, pleasant sweetness. The finish is wonderfully long with a slight bitterness. Wonderful. Thanks to Leo for this sample!
Review by Leo Krüper
Very expressive first tasting. Some sweetness to the tar, as it should be.
Review by Johannes
Nice balance, complex, I like it very much!
Review by Fuwi
A round, unagitated representative of the Caroni bottlings. The nose is pleasantly soft and catchy, vanilla with strong wood aromas, rubber and tar. On the palate there are the expected aromas such as rubber, light notes of burnt sugar, dark fruit and a hint of mint, which tips slightly into menthol in the finish. Very pleasant and round, not a wild ride on burnt rubber tires. Thanks Leo for the split!
