Château D'Arlay
Corail Côtes du Jura Poulsard Blend
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.

May 1st, 2015Really 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
