Yeasty nose with bruiche edges initially, which turned tartar-biscuit-y, then rang proudly in a mix of lemon verbena, lemon zest and hazelnut yeast-must. Finally flattening to a chalky, briny, lpithy ime and cold white marble emptiness, to ultimately bourgeon into a super nutty, mega-biscuit and borderline pignoli biscotti with tangerine and dried persimmon persisting, undulating on an ever-refined carpet of mousse-perfection. Brilliant. #krug #krug4life #kruggal #kruglife #champagne #bubblesalldamnday #bubblesforlife #bubblesareagirlsbestfriend #bubbles #sparklingadventures #frenchwines — 8 years ago

Needs 45 minutes to integrate. Some nice spice on the nose. Palate is nice big fruit but there is acidic balance and some minerality. Also spicey. Really juicy and delicious. Borderline modern in style but very well made. Sort of half way between burgundy and good cAlifornia Pinot. Great with lamb but you can do duck or even steak or squab. Bought from Fass selections. — 9 years ago

Interesting profile here. Doesn't feel like typical Chambolle - it's very dark pitched with blackberry and blueberry with an acute, pinprick texture even after dealing with the CO2. Definitely seems to have some stems showing their lines and even adding a bit of borderline piquancy. — 9 years ago

Began as chocolate covered cherry with a raisin-y note. Thought it was borderline oxidization, but it all came together in a silky, chocolate covered baked plum essence, guava, soy-citrus and old roses. Medium mouthfeel; creamy into silky, muscled tannins. Granite gravel, roasted, carmelized, red grapefruit, cranberry reduction, more sexiness than you can handle. Burgundian ending with tannins like smoke trailing for miles. — 10 years ago

Fred #Prinz is one of those multi-talented winemakers that can do it all: dry, off dry, sweet, sticky and reds.
This remarkable late harvest #Riesling, which is borderline Auslese, has an almost creamy consistency with a lengthy honeyed finish that is not at all cloying--a magical wine! #2007 #Jungfer #spätlese #goldkapsel — 10 years ago

A mirror of its terroir, this Diamond Creek is multi-layered, super packed and multi dimensional. Still tight, it boasts lots of mature red fruit, borderline jammy but melted with a beautiful meaty, savory core. Powerful and intense, this is serious. I would have it with a short-rib and Angus Burger, truffle mayo and smoked provolone. — 10 years ago

2 years ago this was a hot disjointed mess. Now it is a borderline masterpiece. The tannins have resolved and unity reigns. Red fruit, vanilla, spice box. Lovely. I'm not sure if Nic Allen or Luc Morlet is the winemaker but kudos to whomever crafted this. — 10 years ago

Dark mocha- Brown sugar - concentrated red/ruby fruits, mouthwatering but borderline jammy - oak tannins seem to provide the structure - 91 points - lost to Pegau 1997 CNDP (13 to 9) but may not have been a fare fight:: France vs California by learnaboutwine.com 5.25.14 #delectable #wine — 11 years ago

The nose on this white wine is beautiful. Meyer lemon and a sweet soapy essence are in front, with a sneaky lime note coming in beneath. The palate is zippy and fresh, with that same beautiful, soft lemon and lime notes and a full mouthfeel that’s borderline creamy. — 9 years ago

I know you are thinking this girl is too young, and her biscuits are crisp and covered in graphite and borderline sulphur dioxide match sticks, she doesn't taste of soap, which keeps her honest.
I met her in a sparkling holiday casino where we bobbed for apples afloat in the finest olive oil. The orchids and white magnolias of her floral crown shaking their scents into the leather couches. We say goodnight for now, but plan for breakfast tomorrow. — 10 years ago

Borderline criminal to be opened this young, it pours a deep garnet all the way to the rim. Aromas of cherry liqueur, grilled herbs, sandalwood, licorice, tobacco and earth. Gripping tannins and lively acidity. — 10 years ago

2010 Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc. Drank at dinner w Rick and K at Providence. This wine was borderline last time we had it, so we were curious how it would be. It was different and awesome. Super impressive and showed perfectly. Loved it. — 10 years ago

Despite the borderline excessively sunny vintage, this maintains a nice mineral tension behind the mouth-filling flavors of slightly exotic fruit. I keep drinking it, if that's any indicator. — 8 years ago

This is a knife hit of an underripe apricot, smelling almost of good? mildew and plum fingernails in starfruit, white plum, and lemon-pig laundry sheets. Pretty sure I sold this in the late nineties, bulk. Lemony-apricot dries up your palate into pure Cotts canyon, borderline sweet onion in lemongrass oil with light basil. Grow some neck muscles, train with PEDs and dive into this empty pool. Yer da man! — 9 years ago

Sneaking a peek at the Montre-Cul with the some Dijon chicken. Charles Curtis has really got me fired up on these historic sites of Burgundy... This wine comes from north of Marsannay and the tight, dark, reticent character of the wine matches it's borderline location. For a wine this tight and brooding, it sure did go down fast with the chicken. The mystery of Burgundy! — 11 years ago
