Muddled and showing more blending grape characteristics then Grenache. Rustic tannin present and a soupy palate.

OK, I lost again to the cork monster, the cork when pulled looked pristine (especially for a CdP of that era), color is youthful, still some good fruit, but clearly this is partially corked, UGH!!!
