This took a LONG time to open up, but when it did it had more fruit and was fleshier and riper than I recall. The 2nd day it was absolutely hitting on all cylinders. The aromatics were different than I recall as well. Very interesting.

maybe gone a bit dormant, didn't seem as vibrant as I remembered. Medium weight dark fruit
