There is still life in this! Flawless bottle from HDH, filled almost to the cork. Cork was soaked about 2/3 of the way up. Very, very slight barnyard burned off in just a few minutes. Good fruit upfront and tannins still there. Fruit fades a little quicker than tannins but still in harmony and classic Rhone profile.

Very earthy and a bit barnyard. Definitely needs food with it.
