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.

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

Really nice. Very airy at first and seeping with a little air time to chewy herbal notes and dried fruit while managing to stay light. Purchased at MWC

Raspberries, strawberry balsamic, barnyard, vitamins, haystack. Great acidity, light bodied, juicy silky texture, mineral finish. Mild smooth tannins, best served slightly chilled. Blend of pinot noir, poulsard, trousseau, savagnin, chardonnay. Unique.
