I've had a 500 ml bottle open for maybe a year now. It has oxidized. The color is a shade darker and more brown than when it's just opened and dark purple-red. The taste too has changed. It's now closer to a PX in taste, than a cassis, with strong raisined flavor a bit more powerful than the still present black cherry notes, more evident with younger currants. Not as enjoyable now to sip as a digestif or in a kir, but could substitute for PX in a cocktail or over ice cream.

The best creme de cassis I've ever had. Not as syrupy or cloying, no artifical notes compared to all others I've had. A league above even the "craft" brands that are sold in French grocery stores, not to mention liquor stores in the US and Germany.

Pronounced nose of cassis, sweet plum. High acidity and high alcohol
