"GRF13: I was able to enjoy this drop twice in the glass... from my point of view, this is one of the best continental Caronis I've been able to taste so far. Surprisingly, in addition to the expected dirty aromas, dark fruits are also clearly perceptible. The alcohol is very well integrated. Warm, creamy and soft, it spreads across the palate and unfolds its play of aromas... this continues in a long finish... Top barrel selection"

"Schon eher auf der dreckigen Seite, aber insgesamt tolle Komplexität! Bei der zweiten Verkostung bin ich begeistert von der Komplexität. Neben leicht dreckigen Noten auch schöne Frucht-Anklänge mit tropischen Noten."

"Typical Caroni profile with classic tar and rubber aromas, embedded in heavy caramel sweetness. Oak wood, dark spices, hints of fruit. Very tasty, round profile. A great representative of the already very convincing 1999 vintage."

"Tatsächlich ein sehr leckerer kontinentaler Caroni. Dreckig mit viel Gummi, aber mit schönem Beiwerk aus Frucht (trocken, tropisch und dunkle Beeren), Karamell/gebranner Zucker, Holz und Gewürz. Ich rieche auch etwas Brause. Am Gaumen angenehm trocken mit etwas Menthol an den Gewürzen."
