Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - Acker Merrall 1996 Left Bank Bordeaux Dinner (Balsan - Chicago IL): Dark and dense black fruit aromas with really impressive spice. Plum, black currant and black cherry flavors, with hints of cocoa and dark coffee. Good spice comes through in middle and finish, along with some very good power. Tonight this seemed like a "94 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.
