Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Diesel overload. Yet lovely.
Review by Harald
Farbe: Goldbraun bis Bernstein Geruch Intensiv und aromatisch. Aromen von Karamell und Toffee, Sandelholz und Lakritze. Zudem Orange. Geschmack: Im Mund süß. Würzig und sehr holzig. Dabei scharf, bitter und alkoholisch. Zudem Lakritze und etwas Toffee. Leicht verwässert. Abgang: Mittellang Trocken, holzig, bitter und alkoholisch. 82 Punkte Für einen Caroni schmeckt mir dieser hier nicht.
Review by Oliver
Tasty but unspectacular Caroni. Beautiful sweetness.
Review by DomM
Sweetness, some dirt, some fruits, feels a little toned down. Not bad overall.
Review by Leo Tomczak
