Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 20, 2004 - I was looking to learn something about Spanish wine, and I foolishly allowed the Sommelier at Rubicon to agree with me and suggest this bottle. It had a great clear ruby color and a complex palete with dried fruit flavors, but was so out of balance with acidity that it was a chore to drink. It's been a long time since I had a bottle of wine which wasn't corked or over the hill or otherwise obviously flawed that I thought was a waste of money, but this bottle qualifies. The fact that Rubicon charged $48 for this $18 wine (a fact that I didn't find out until later) didn't help much. [Dinner at Rubicon 1/20/04; Dine About Town; Chestnut Soup, and a Blanquette du Veau (both of which were quite good)].
