Review by cigares
Took them to a wine tasting and they drank more than half the bottle! A nose at once suave, fresh, fruity (yellow and tropical fruits) and dirty (rubber and bitterness). Strangely enough, the nose is very beautiful, no doubt because these flavors are in balance. The palate feels diluted, which is a pity, but immediately afterwards the flavors take over the palate. The mechanical workshop is more present than on the nose, and the fruit is more fresh and acidic. The finish recaptures the balance of the nose, with tropical fruit and a bitterness that makes you want to have another glass. Tasted again, it stands out from other Caronis below 50 degrees.
Review by Caroni.Martin
Yes you can tell that he was diluted down but he is just incredibly good - if someone wants to "swap" a sample and has the barrel strong open he can write me.
