Opened late the previous evening (is there really a need to explain how this came to be opened at 1am?).

Team tasting note.

Very dark, in both hue and opacity. Nose still closed. D: yesterday’s stink has gone. To taste sweetness without an obvious fruit. Maybe (JDAW) liquorice or (DRT) dark cherries. Not complicated, but lovely.
