This particular bottle must be at peak. Was excellent on opening, probably slightly better after 30 minutes of air, and last glass 4 hours later is still fantastic. Nose of dark red fruit but with occasional wafts of lighter and more playful red fruit. On the palate, Kirsch, dark stewed luxardo cherry, bramblebush and maybe some cherries jubilee at the 4 hour mark. Based on this bottle, at peak, but think this will coast along for several more years.

Absurdly delicious. I decanted for about 20 minutes which was key.
