A first for me. Right off the bat I was hit with barnyard funk, a fruit driven balsamic note and very chewy/crunchy cranberry. Best enjoyed slightly below cellar temp, this still needs some age or a solid hour in the decanter to express itself. Lots of potpourri, tar, and herbal/mineral traits. I was only able to enjoy a glass of this shortly after it was opened so I’m sure it blossomed after I left and was cooled down. Need to re-visit this unique blend.

Lean, mineral...oxidized...yeast cap in barrel- intentional evaporation (no topping off) so geeky and so yummy.

Some of that weird VA and some nice floral notes. Ultra lightly extracted.

D'Arlay Corail - holy epiphany! This was insanely amazing. Poulsard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Savignin. Better together! @ft33dallas
