  May 4, 2024 - No brett, but slight bitter tannins and for me too much oak. Not unpleasant but hiding the fruit. Decanted 1 hour.

  June 4, 2022 - Bretty and bitter. Hints of violet and dark fruits but completely overshadowed by Brett.

  October 1, 2021 - When opened it's concentrated, bitter and with clear alcohole taste. Medical. Just took a glass and then i did not want anymore. BRB.
  
  Edit: Went back to it after six hours and the very rough edges were off. Actually rather yummy by now. But maybe not for all. Started out at around 74 and ended at 90. So around 88.
