what black currant taste like

[winoweenie]

Hi Cookeagle and welcome to the board. Blackcurrants are a fruit whose tastes are normally associated with the red wines of bordeaux. It will vary in intensity from lite to deep and profound. Associate the taste to jam. I normally associate ethyl acetate with aroma than taste. Horsey is, as the name implies tastes like a horse smells. Usually found in red Burgandies and occassionally Pinot Noirs. Think barnyard. I think you used the weeners typing course and meant flinTy. I usually find this in white wines and it shows as a steely, acidic sensation on the palate. By the by, this will be my only classroom answer as I expect students to research and find the answers to their questions themselves. I did this because of your origin. I have a grand-son in Scottsdale Community Colleges' Culinary school. WW
