2003 Shiraz vs Chianti

[robr]

I just popped a Fat Bastard Shiraz and a Bolla Chianti. I really expected to like the FB better, but it's fairly closed, and probably needs to be decanted.

I was surprized that the Chianti is really much easier to drink, very fruity and well balanced, even though it is a cheaper wine.

Price isn't always an indicator of taste, but I still think the FB will be better once it has some more time to open. I'll let you know.
