Possibly diminishing at this point. It's not as flavorful as I recall when I last had it 2 years ago, but satisfying enough nonetheless. Initial rating of 88.
The second glass 2 hours later was perkier than the first and the muddled fruit notes formed into cherry and raspberry, intermingling with a sugared floral bouquet. The ending lingered with a lightly smoked leather strop note. 2 points added.
I finished the bottle two days later, and, incredibly enough, it was at its best with punchy, powerful flavors and a long endnote that had me craving more. 3 more points added.

No decant. In the glass it's a deep ruby red.
