Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - Acker Merrall 1996 Left Bank Bordeaux Dinner (Balsan - Chicago IL): Considerable earthy and tobacco aromas were more pronounced that the black fruit. Reasonable amount of oak. The palate was a combination of black fruit, strong flavors of earth and lots of muscular tannins. To me this showed as around a "90 point" wine but alas, tonight's four1996 1st Growths were served in new glasses that all seemed tainted by an odd combination of dust and soap residue, making them hard to fairly assess.
