January 23, 2012 - Really enjoyed this but seemed a bit flatter than last time. Dark fruit and berry notes along with chocolate predominate on the first taste but blue fruits really come through as it evolves. I decanted for about an hour and then drank a third of the bottle over about 3 hours and while it opened up significantly from the time I opened it to the time I started drinking it it really did not do much from then on. I am saving a glass for tomorrow so if I have any additional notes I will update this. I would say it is time to drink this now or perhaps wait a year but I enjoyed the first bottle I had more (about 6 months ago) so I don't know that this will improve much.
