Upon PnP, this was a bit over the top, but after about 45 minutes in the glass/bottle it really started to smooth out. Dark berries and light pepper (lighter than I expected, at least). Probably going to wait a couple years before opening my magnum.

3 hour decant had this magnum singing! Dark berries and black pepper. Dynamite with Michael's Santa Maria tri-tip!
