Before church, we decanted this magnum so it had plenty of time to breathe. Nice bramble fruit on the nose and palate, with ample spice all in a more claret style wine than a fruitbomb. It went very well with the grilled beef tenderloin.

Light brick red hue; soft nose a bit hot with mostly pepper; light to medium on the palate with blackberry and pepper; good acidity with a quick finish. I was nervous I had missed the window on this one, but it seemed still pretty decent, if perhaps a bit thin.
