Simon has been very generous with his stash - here's my take:
On decanting, the wine had some rough edges, but was approachable.
18 hours later I thought it a bit jammy - cranberries came to mind - not noticeably better than when first decanted.
30 hours and the wine had come round, darker, deep and composed.
Now at 48 hours it's getting a little jammy again, but a very respectable wine.
No hurry to drink this one, it is still very youthful - another ten years will do no harm.
Score 5-7
