Magnum,
Decanting 1 glass first to make sure I get the correct time on it, don't want to miss the sweet spot, 15.8 abv.
30 min to blow off the funky nose then 1 hour to 1.5 hour
Make that 2- 2.5 hour at least on the magnum.
Realm allocation release on Tuesday don't forget!

Total beast. Did a quick double decant since it's 12 years old but should have let it open for a couple of hours. Eye watering nose of dirt, nutmeg, cinnamon, bramble, and camphor. Massive palate with plenty of fruit and tannin left. 45 second finish. What an awesome cab blend!
