Bottle split at the Level Six tasting, thanks to LKS, 22/03/23. Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that thins to the edge. Nose is dark malts, dusty fruit rinds, earthy, vinous, toffee. Taste comprises stewed fruits, oxidised nip, toffee, earthy, damp oak. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad for the age.
