Darkish translucent garnet, clearish rim with a little rustiness. Lots of forest on the nose, mushroom, earthy with a little hint of meat, but also still some pure cherry fruit. Similar flavors on the palate, with medium plus acidity and a bright, kind of herby impression. Much longer finish than I remember from previous bottles. Perhaps it was just a better than average bottle (cork was in perfect shape), but greatly exceeded expectations. Could hold for 5 more years.
