Deep garnet, purple. Some sediment. Plums, cherries, and some mushroom like quality on Day 1 with firm tannins. Brambles, cherries, conserved fruits and a little truffle on Day 2. Room filling aromatics. Tannins less firm. Hard to judge the future of this wine but I have to believe that the life is longer than most folks think. Drink with patience or hold. Upgrading score based on Day 2
