Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 25, 2010 - Definitive Rhone (Fabi and Rosi European Kitchen Austin, Texas): Probably from purchased grapes, most tasters enjoyed this wine, but not all did. It had pepper, spice and vanilla on the nose and good balance, had good and somewhat linear fruit, was slightly metallic and dusty, and had a short finish. Earth, cracked pepper, barnyard/animal, anise, blood, some plum and iron, and even hand soap flavors were detected. It was a good quaffing wine, probably better five years ago. A few thought it possibly heat damaged, muted, suffering, and they drank this an hour and a half after it was opened, so the wine fades and is a bit over-the-hill. Drink up.
