Pittsburgh Pirates

Père Anselme

La Fiole Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

It looks like a bottle from a Pirates boat! Its very tasty and is more like a Pinot or a Cab Sav. But the bottle makes it. Its twisted and rough like it's spent years at the bottom of the ocean. — 8 years ago

Picco del Sole

Beneventano Falanghina 2015

Had this with a complicated sandwich of legume patty, pickled beets, dill, and seed bread and pierogies topped with onions, pickled veg, and mustardy sauce from the wonderful Apteka in Pittsburgh. This wine complemented the meal perfectly. — 9 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Cos is a wine I have only tried a few times. A collector darling, most who collect it are fanatic only about Cos. Kind of like how Pittsburgh sports fans if you are familiar.

These were both exceptional. The 2000 showed some tertiary aspects in the nose, less so in the palate as a strong, tannic structure bolstered my thoughts of much further longevity than the nose hinted to. Flush with the firm and chewy tannin Saint-Estephe wines sport for more time than their southerly Medoc counterparts. Plenty of layered, savory and pristine black and red fruits fan out over the structure.

The 2005 is even more complex and dense and I would have to think will age at a glacial pace as this was just getting going from what I could tell as it was showing so young and tight.

Carpineto

Farnito Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Old world unapologetic Cab, and quite fantastic. A touch of pirates of the Caribbean (the ride) and black, silky fruit. Smooth and delicious, this wine is impressive. — 10 years ago
