trifecta Does not like this wine:
December 25, 2021 - Completely over the hill. Surprised given the screw cap. No reason to hold, twist and give it a shot.

April 15, 2018 - Initially it seemed a touch reductive with some sulfur and rubber notes. After a bit of air it came alive and was delicious. Strawberries and raspberries along with some savoury herbaceous notes (is that what they call garrigue in the Rhone?). Some sips had a rather bitter end to the finish, but it was intermittent. It's definitely ready to go, but decant!

December 28, 2015 - Without much air, we have raspberry, hints of earth, twigs, some herbs, and a nice overall feel. I think this needs a bunch of air to open up.
Fruit came out more with air. Just a delicious bottle, and good now or will likely improve for a few years. -

November 8, 2015 - Fantastic aromas. Fruit. Strawberry boysenberry funk overtone. Some oak. Complexity. Yum.
