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!

Completely over the hill. Surprised given the screw cap. No reason to hold, twist and give it a shot.

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.

Fantastic aromas. Fruit. Strawberry boysenberry funk overtone. Some oak. Complexity. Yum.
