Even then though this was that more port-like raisin-y style. Not exactly what it was meant to be. Drinkable and I wonder if it wouldn't have blown off with some more time, but for right now wasn't really singing.

Also, as you have speculated, lots of air time helped bring the flavors into balance, and a long stand-up and decanted are really necessary. I noted my most recent bottle had 2+ inches of sediment at the bottom, I would not have wanted that mixed into my glass.
