Black fruited Grenache, aggressively dry and tannic which normally I like but in this case is a tad too far and dominates the wine. Drank without a decant so perhaps time would have brought it more into balance.

Powerful aroma and taste. Prune etc. black fruits, sour and acidic. Slightly chocolate nuance. It would match with sweet sour spicy cuisine in Southeast Asia like Thailand or fried food. Clarendon Hills Old Vines Clarendon Grenache 2015 @1300, xuaduo -, 210928-211001

Wow this is still alive and kicking. Mulberry and stewed berries. Some tomato on the nose. Huge eucalyptus and baking spices.
