Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 25, 2010 - Definitive Rhone (Fabi and Rosi European Kitchen Austin, Texas): [Decanted three hours before tasting] Surprisingly approachable, several tasters thought this wine new world-ish (until they tasted the wine from Washington), reminiscent of a rhone ranger rather than Australian. Quite a dense wine, with dark color, the wine had a fruity, succulent nose, and aggressive tannins. A young, expressive food wine, this was "rock solid" and "a baby," yet had much flavor. Blackberry, black currant, raisin, dark fruit and black raspberry, with some white pepper, oak, chalk, thyme, fennel, bitter chocolate, herbs de provence, and stewed fruit notes. It will improve with age, and improved with our charcuterie and lamb.
