These were all points inherent to my argument. Double blind is universal, but the format of the test will vary, depending on what the experimenter is trying to probe.As far as a Bordeaux blend... how about, ummm, Bordeaux? I've becaome less enamored of Bdx in recent years as the region has prostituted itself to the points gurus, but there are still rays of light here and there. When I drink one of the old California Cabernets, I shed a tear realizing that no-one is doing it like that anymore. Nowadays, it's extract, oak, and alcohol, plus a bit of residual sugar. Bigger is better. Balanced, nuanced wines are a thing of the past.
Excuse me, I hear a '77 Carneros Creek Fay Vineyard cabernet calling my name...
