After just finishing this bottle a couple of days ago, about a week after opening it, I agree with David and Derek. This LBV really shows best when around celler temps, around 60-65 degrees (16-18 celsius). I figured this out after I poured a glass and then got side tracked by an unexpected visitor. The glass warmed up to room temps, around 75 degrees (after all we are getting some wonderful afternoon sun here in L.A.), and there was quite a noticable change.
The bottle held up well and tasted about the same for the first 4-5 days. By the last day or so those fresh flavors were starting to lessen allowing a bit more spice and alcohol to show. Not bad and still pleasantly drinkable. As I said earlier a very nice LBV and one I will get again this week.
