Starting to soften - not surprising, considering the heat of the vintage. Lots of red licorice, anise, raspberry ganache and garrique. In its prime drinking window. The grenache is predominant at this point. I doubt it will get much better than it is now.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
