Blind tasting is tough tasting Bordeaux 2005 with Robert Parker.
Even though the tasting was blind, everyone knew the lineup of wines and it included some of the most heralded wines of the vintage as the Parker scores (in parentheses) indicate:
Angelus (98) Cos dEstournel (98) Ducru Beaucaillou (97) Haut Brion (98) Lafite Rothschild (96+) La Mission Haut Brion (97) Larcis Ducasse (98) Latour (96+) LEglise Clinet (100) Margaux (98+) Montrose (95) Pape Clement (98) Pavie (98+) Le Gay (95) Troplong Mondot (99)
Blind tasting removes preconceptions about wines while maintaining the ability to rate wines in a peer group setting.
Blind tasting can be ruthless in its outcomes.
