Fully aged and starting the downside. Tawny rim initially showing soy and umami funk. After an hour, the funk blew off and it showed dark cherry, blue fruit, cedar, baking spice and savory earthy notes. The 14.7 abv wasn't showing (thankfully), and decent acids balanced out the medium plus weight. A good experience, but wishing I had opened this last one a few years earlier.
