    Just got my hands on one..how is it drinking. Would you drink it soon or cellar it further?

    I haven't had one in over a year, but I think you're going to want to drink it soon. It was very jammy and delicious at ~6-8 months. By now the berries may be starting to drop, but that is just my guess.

    I had one about a month ago and it is still fantastic. I would say if you haven't had it before then drink it. I would assume it would be good for awhile yet.

    Recently drank one. I enjoyed it very much. Agreed with above, if you've never had it, drink now. Even if you have had, I say drink now. I really do not see age helping it drink any better than it is now.

    Ditto, seems to be hitting its peak, from what I have read.

    Shared one with a couple of friends last weekend. We all thought it was fantastic.

    It taste great now but I think it will hold up for quite a while. Don't think it is on a downward slide yet
