Sunday, September 10, 2023 - This was excellent. Dark chocolate covered cherry with bitter cocoa, pencil lead and a long penetrating finish with balanced acidity and concealed alcohol. Brooding and quite good.

It's really well balanced and sure, could probably age a long time into the future, but I don't see a particular reason to hold. I would decant it next time though.
