Periphery

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2018

Smoothed and softened by now. Muted strawberry and melon accents with herbs on the periphery.

Faded, but weighty, concentrated, a little heat with a long goodbye.

Durbacher Plauelrain Spätlese Trocken Scheurebe 2020

Like a soapy tropical little German Pils from Scheurebe. Grapefruit scented mosaic hops and dank marijuana crystals. Hints of mango and papaya floating in the periphery. A body with some girth and buttercream to yang the ying of acid you couldn't complain about not even for a second. — 2 years ago

Tenuta Anfosso

Rossese di Dolceacqua 2015

Before completed, this was purple with a brick halo. Something worth a good sniff. Chocolaty leather, tobacco, cedar, raisins, plum. Big, vibrant mouth with a plush texture and firm acid. Ripe strawberry and cherry core, spiced cola and minerals in the periphery.

Flavors in the raspberry spectrum linger for quite a bit.

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Good balance, not too sharp. Excellent against lasagna. — 4 months ago

K.H. Schneider

Marbach Riesling 2019

Main stage has textured lightning lemon, little hints of sweet and cream on the periphery. Amber honey and rubber ball. Then citrus lanolin, candied lemon drops.

Lots of sour, little sweet, wholly complete.

Liaison Pinot Noir 2019

Damn. Liaison....every year. 2019 is all about elegance and femininity. Grand Cru stuff. Burgundian by weight, Germanic in tone. Impossible expression crammed in the most dainty little box. Looks like it could be thin, but it's not. Murky, unfiltered, straddles the tradition and the wild. Bright red cherries and mossy forresty, earth...strawberries and rosemary on the periphery. What a bargain. — 2 years ago

Mount Airy Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2019

9.0

Fantastic- this had some impressive density of flavors, thick & inky, immediately gave off red & black berried fruit, black cherry and some herbaceousness on the periphery. So polished, smooth & elegant on the palate, just very refined, very fruit driven tho - was hoping for a bit more personality & secondary flavors & aromas. Supple tannins and a nice long finish. — a year ago

Leutschacher Chardonnay 2020

Like a mix between chablis and pouilly-fuisse - perfect center. Depth, elegance, tropical fruits dancing in the periphery. — a year ago

Domaine A.-F. Gros (Anne & Francois Gros)

Clos de la Fontaine Monopole Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2015

The nose initially had an interesting restrained spiciness, which evolved slowly in the glass to be dominated by a fruit-tinged (strawberry?) earthiness. I was expecting a similarly restrained palate, and was very surprised when it burst forth with a pure and bright red fruitiness, supported by solid cherry notes on the periphery. Very unique, at least relative to the CA Pinots that I have tasted, and very enjoyable! — 6 years ago
