Fat Bastard Shiraz 2005

Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceNot quite as fat as its name the '06 is dense and bits spicy, white pepper on the nose and the palate. Look for a peppery gamey mid-palate with earthy roasted meaty black fruits notes and a touch of acidity poking through the back end. Served with hearty fall dishes. The vines are sourced in the Minervois area near Carcassonne as well as north of Nimes.Tasted: 30 September 2007Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
