Started drinking after 1/2 hour decant and it didn't improve over the next 2-3 hours so no need for a longer decant.
Nose: raspberry, other dark fruit, a slightest musty note (in a good way) that went away fairly quickly.
Pallate: soft medium body mouthfeel, bursting with fruit
Finish: fruit fades to pleasant moderate tannins. Mild -moderate acidity
Overall: seems perfect to drink now! Likely will stand up to aging much longer. As I drank it more and got about 2.5 hours since decant the fruit aroma mostly went away. Still good but enjoyed the earlier pours a bit more.

This is still drinking well at 17 years. Tasted immediately after opening and at 1 hour, 2, 3 and 4 hours in the decanter. No benefit waiting more than an hour. Still plenty of Dark fruits (black berries, dark cherries). Fruits tend to fade quickly in the glass but a fresh pour from the decanter brings them back. After 4 hours the fruit doesn't stay as long. Mouth feel is velvety with pleasant soft integrated tannins and mild to moderate acidity. Moderate finish with quick fade of dark fruits to leather. Very enjoyable. Should still have life after 2023.
