I have been going to
different horizontal tasting and have generally been impressed by only a couple
of things: my general inability to identify wines and how Chateau Lynch-Bages
always comes in the bottom three (where applicable). So it was quite a pleasant
surprise when I actually got the answers right and won a bottle the other day
at the KCCWS Bordeaux 2001 dinner (picture above). There 3 St Emilion wines
amongst the 8 wines tasted and we were asked to identify these. What they had
not told us was that 3 of the other 5 were from St Julien, though this is
obvious if one looks down the list. I just took some notes for each wine and
thought I can only identify one. Then when they hurried us up for the answers,
i looked down the descriptions and chose the three with the most forward and
fruity descriptions and submitted them. I was thrilled to be the only one to
get them all correct!
