This was still in good shape with softening tannins. Earthy and ripe plum, leather, florals, and a proper balance of acid. This will hold for a couple of years but is drinking nicely now. I don't expect it to improve.

Full and fresh grenache in the nose. Light tannins with good fruit but fades in the finish. Still has life.
