Rusty Nail Winery

Casalino

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2018

Deep red color, almost purple. Very intense initial nose. Very heavy nail polish smell. Very focused scent, with a distant red fruit smell. Very earthy taste, with hints of cherries. Light sugar. (Interesting to note, I can a very quick seafood aftertaste, which was bizarre). — 9 months ago

Riserva Pora Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2008

Pretty wine with “lifted acidity” (aka VA /EA / hint of nail polish). The wine relaxed and became more expressive with roses (fresh and dried) fruit (cherry, raspberry, red currant, pomegranate) as the meal and conversation wore on. Tannins are fine-grained and well integrated, but very much present, making the wine a little aloof and muted at first. Give it time to unwind and reach a happy place. — 3 years ago

Fattoria Le Pupille (Elisabetta Geppetti)

Poggio Valente Riserva Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese 2019

Candied raspberry and a hint of non-acetone nail polish remover on the nose, surprisingly brambley and woody/olive pit upfront given the nose, but nice rich plum and other fruits come through as well. Medium color and body, solid tannins but finish is a bit tannic for me. — 9 months ago

Château Haut-Bergey

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

Very cool to try this vintage. The color has gone to a very rusty red amber and almost a brown rim. (bummer you can’t upload more than one photo) Olive and earth on the nose. Very savory V8 notes of tomato, tomato bisque , black pepper. The palate still has great acidity, very rounded,just a nice lingering finish and almost feels high in heat even though this sits at 12.5% — 3 years ago

Look at your profile. This is an outlier. I feel same about Cote Rotie as a “real treat”.

@romo Fair enough. I def think of Cote Rotie as a special occasion wine but not an outlier.
