5th bottle out of 6. It has nicely evolved. Much more drinkable now, tamed tannins and it has lost some fat while keeping fruit, licorice and rusticity.

Fading color, fading fruit. High acidity for Grenache, chalky tannins, high alcohol. Rather harsh chalky finish. Other than that, a fine wine.... My guess is this is a couple years past its prime. Drinkable, but barely.

3rd bottle out of 6. Intense kirsch liquor, herbs and violets. Still very astringent on palate, carries medium acidity and with plenty of unresolved tannins. Heat is a bit present at the moment. Palate has gained weight and lost freshness. As of now, earliest bottle was the best. Not sure how is this evolving. 87-88

Really nice - low expectations as this was an old forgotten wine club bottle.

Comes a bit harsh out of the bottle but improves on second day. Needs more time in cellar.
