Peculiar Wines

Wm. Harrison Vineyards & Winery (William Harrison)

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

First mag I purchased from this winery, and this is 1 of 11 bottles purchased.....this is the last of two not counting the mag. Starting to ascend to its height but I still think it has 3-4 years before it is at the top. This wine is a blend that is a little on the "unusual" side but nothing bad about that! Peculiar blend, but oh man does this work. The nose is fig, plum, blackberry. The entry is dark, thick. Tar, blackberry, fig. Middle of plum, brambly, red clay. Massive black and purple fruit finish. Cherry cola finish. A little sweeter toasted tannin. Massive structure. — 7 years ago

Finca Dofí Priorat Garnacha Blend 2012

Amazing, definitely meets my very high expectations from Priorat. Expressive and spicy, great fruit-wood and tannin-acidity balances (all on high level). Peculiar blend with aromas of Syrah and grenage — 9 years ago

Forja del Salnes

Bastion de la Luna Tintos de Mar Rias Baixas Red Blend 2012

Negre de terra d'albarinyo amb un clar gust pebrat i acidesa discreta que deixa un final llarg d'herba fresca amb un tataki de bou. Peculiar. Roger Viusà Plaça del Vi. — 10 years ago

Château Maris

Brama La Livinière Grenache Gris 2011

Big, exotic, lots of peculiar things to chew on: lychee, coconut water, other soft white scoopable fruits I'd have to look up (when was the last time I had dragonfruit?). Rosy. Super aromatic. Finishes like you just did a fino sherry shot—iodine, kiwi skin, salinity, heat. Winter white, & a good look for grenache gris. — 11 years ago

Lucien Albrecht

Cuvée Balthazar Alsace Pinot Blanc 2016

Very peculiar wine that makes you think. A bit steeley when cold but after it warms a bit in the glass, it begins revealing heady floral aromas with elements of pear, clay, chalk, and apricot blossoms. Structured almost like a Petit Chablis. Honey and peaches on the mouth. Smooth, lengthy finish. — 8 years ago

Château Brane-Cantenac

Grand Cru Classé en 1855 Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1971

Bretty delight! A wine that exemplifies the benefits of slow-ox. Parker gave it 62pts. What a peculiar man! — 9 years ago

Château du Hureau

Tuffe Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2012

Light-ish body, rainforest earth, cassis, and minerals. Something else magical I can't put my finger on, like the peculiar sexiness of a Sade album. Gooo-ood. — 9 years ago

Oudbeitje Strawberry Lambic Ale

DeRat is an amazing bar in Utrecht. Vast selection of sours. This one is quite peculiar. Get strawberry and burnt wood on the nose, then it hits you with powerful sourness that burns in the aftertaste, and finished with an interesting oak+butter taste. The guy pouring it separated the sediment, which surprisingly smells like char coal. Too many compounds here. — 9 years ago

Terre di Chieti Pecorino

A very peculiar and unique wine. Dry with low residual sugars, yet the fruity undertones give it a softness and roundness that makes it a very plesant experience. — 9 years ago

Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Brand (Turckheim) Grand Cru Riesling 2013

KW
8.9

Zind Humbrecht at ProWein, I tasted the whole 2013 range available. Most had just been bottled and had a peculiar smell of spontaneous fermentation going slightly wrong to it which did dissipate eventually in the glass. This was one of my favourites:
Grapefruit and apple nose.
Green hazelnut, apple, apricot on the palate. Great length, mineral finish with apple, dried white flowers and dandelion flowers aftertaste. Too young. But great potential.
