87/100 Fat Bastard Merlot 2003
Languedoc, South of France, France
Produced By: Guy Anderson Wines
Distributed By: Diamond Estates Wines and Spirits/Brave New Wines
Big black cherry jam, juniper, spicy, barnyard aromas. Round, dry, slightly chunky entry with some tannins. Peppery, spicy, resiny, vanilla, tobacco leaf, black cherry and orange rind flavours. It’s dryer style that requires a rustic meat dish to disperse the tannins
87/100 Fat Bastard Shiraz 2004
Languedoc, South of France, France
Produced By: Guy Anderson Wines
Distributed By: Diamond Estates Wines and Spirits/Brave New Wines
Peppery, cedar, gamey, poultry spice, garrigue aromas with a touch of blackberry. Dry, slightly tight palate but full with tobacco, peppery, roasted pepper, black cherry, licorice flavours with a wild berry note on the finish. Very solid food wine with some light tannin on the finish. Good value.

Languedoc, South of France, France
Produced By: Guy Anderson Wines

Light gooseberry, kiwi fruit and mineral, floral melon nose with a hint of grapefruit rind. Round, elegant and a touch soft but balanced with grassy, gooseberry, apple skin flavours and a grapefruit rind finish. Simple, fresh, dry and elegant with good acidity.

Tasty leesy, honey, spicy, orange peel and peach aromas. Dry, tight palate but rich and a bit oily with honey, butter, spicy, citrus, orange flavours. Dry, nutty lees finish. A fine match for chicken dishes.

I agree with the previous answer: go to wine tasting or food/wine shows. They usually charge a small fee, but it's worth it - you can taste many wines, and make up your mind which you like. This is something you'll have to find oiut for yourself, because everyone's taste is different. A big advantage is that you get to talk to the industry people themselves, and they are a great help. Don't pay too much attention to the grape type (eg, cabernet, pinot), because, although they all have their distinctive character, there is also a huge variation from area to area, and even from year to year. I don't know what it's like in the States, but over here (Aust) they have big wine shows every few months, and also many wine retailers have regular tasting sessions. One small tip for wine tasting: don't eat too much strong food such as cheese, because it dulls the palate, and drink small amounts only. After tasting about twenty wines, they all start to taste the same, if you over-indulge.

Its a merlot. Good wine. Bad name. Try a bottle you'll enjoy it and it's French. The Fat Bastard is also a bad translation.
