All wines were served blind.
The 3 wines in this heat were used to make a blend of the infamous Rudi version of Mouton Rothschild 1945. We were led to believe that we were tasting a rare bottle that not that this experiment were going on.
The Mouton 1945 was made of 25% Cos 88, 25% Palmer 90 and 50% Abreu.
It was a very strange experiment but it actually showed an aged Bordeaux wine with clear signs of age but also lots of fruit depth. Very interesting and fun to try :-)
We started with the Mouton 45 and were afterwards told the truth about the experiment. Afterwards we got to try to other wines individually.
