Ridded w/ biological activity in this bottle, from slight spritz, volatility, and considerable particulate and haze. Quite possibly the most 4-EP/4-EG riddled wine I’ve had. This had been in the cellar for a bit, curious what a day will do. After 2 hours some musky fruit was beginning to show. A little disappointed but bottle variation and “living” wines are par for the course w/ Barral. Day 2: overwhelming brett and mousiness

Léger éthanal en fin de bouche, phénols volatils présents. Dommage.

Damp leather, mushrooms, crushed black cherries, dried flowers, cigar, resinous herbs, rotting wood, latex, licorice, smells and tastes like a musky old cellar. Despite all the earth and funk there are still these bright fruit/floral tones that push through. Contemplative, surprising, complex and advanced. 50% carignan, 30% grenache, 20% cinsault. Vines avg. 40-70 years!

2012. Aromatics are joyous with black cherry, cocoa, herbs and flowers. Filled with fruit yet nimble on the palate, elegant even, with a finish of sun-baked stone. More "natural" than most wines promoted that way.

Not a wine for everyone. But wow. So expressive. Carrignan blend. So rustic and stinky. Beautiful
