Review by Gigi Balestra
Fruits from all over the world - mango, passion fruit, grapes, raisins, plums. Oak, dark chocolate, butterscotch. Opulent and round. Superb alchohol integration. The profile is similar to some fruity TDLs that I've recently tried. But more towards heavyweight division. If only this is cheaper, I'd buy a few bottles.. Tasttoe is really master of the craft - great selections and really great staff. 94/100
Review by Tom Buteneers
Nice & fruity, I like it a lot!
Review by Leo Tomczak
A solid '98 Caroni that is not quite as tarry and dirty as many others from the vintage. Certainly also suitable for Caroni newcomers. Unfortunately, the price is modernly high.
Review by Stijn Zino
Too much water added. Still a nice Caroni.
