Finally posting my notes from 2-19-12:
After 8 hours decant: Overpowering in every sense, there is tons of fruit to match the huge structure. Needs a MUCH longer decant.
After 30 hours decant: More open, bringing in some violet and mint in with the fruit, great balance but still tough to drink on day 2 due to its sheer size. If you prefer your ports young, big and fruit filled though, you'll love this now as much as I think I will in 20 years. Great stuff.
