  I was very, very skeptical of this bottle ahead of time. Not because of any physical worries but simply because I'd never had a CdP this old. Decanted from a magnum, this was a rockstar and held place with many other top gunners. Raisin, prune, Christmas cake, cinnamon and very ripe fruit ran rampant. Upon opening it was 100MPH out of the gate, slowed down a bit 20 minutes in and then opened right back up. A wonderful history lesson...
