Although Delectable recognized the label, this appears to be the first post of this one-off bottling. Saw a description of this as a “staff only” bottling of resettled “bottom of the barrel” remains from Reva, Seymour’s, Pandora, Lorraine and Grenache barrels. Probably an 8.8 at best on opening. Extremely reductive notes of rubber and tar/asphalt. Came around nicely on night two with the fruit poking through along with some nice savory elements.
