Wednesday, April 26, 2017 - Blind 1995 Bordeaux at Table, Donkey and Stick (Chicago, IL): Served blind in flights of 1995 Bordeaux. Clearly left bank of high caliber. The nose on this was perfumed, complex, and full of those classic aromas you're looking for in Bordeaux: black fruit, a bit of cedar, some leather, some dirt. The palate is a bit surprising given the nose, though, it's a bit less perfumed and explosive, and lies more on the red side of the spectrum. The acidic lift here is incredible, too. The sweeter red fruit here did give me some pause as to whether this could have been a classic Californian cabernet, but in the end, I settled with my gut instinct. As an addendum, this bottle was decanted four hours before the next one.
