Review by Aussierumfan
A lovely 1997 continentally aged Caroni. As always Tar, rubber and oils but then Im getting a pleasant sweetness coming through as well! Fruits, coffee/chocolate as well as some wood. The oak isn't overpowering at all. Very enjoyable with a longish finish.
Review by Jakob
I like it a bit better than the second 1997 bottling from the Caroni Old Music series. A bit rounder in direct comparison, the Caroni-typical dirty notes are a bit less accentuated, although still clearly recognizable. Somewhat sweeter, more balanced, more drinkable.
