Dark garnet color in glass with fading rims. 14% alcohol. Lovely bouquet of mushrooms and damp earth. Moderate tannins in finish. Starting to fade. Fine particles of sediment. Drink soon

Wine still has beautiful color. Tertiary flavors such as raisin are now present, but still has plenty of original, ripe dark fruit flavors such as bing cherry. Tannins are fully integrated and very supple. I would prefer more acidity. Drink now.

First night: lots of animal funk on the nose but quite tasty. On the second night nose was cleaner: cherry and leather also mirrored on the palate. Still good tannins and acidity. Enjoyable CdP.
