I truly enjoy your channel because you are informative, approachable and entertaining. I have just one quibble with this video: I wish one of your blind tasting options would have been a Super Tuscan to compare and contrast with the wine from Bordeaux. Keep up the great work.
Thank You! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You are completely correct, and a supertuscan wine would be a nice addition in this video. I only didn’t add it because I had a different video where I tasted different supertuscan wines. But I guess each video is viewed separately, and I should take that into consideration when making them. Thank You. 🙏🏻
By far the best feature of this video is the enthusiasm and spontaneity of it! Other, more serious, more theoretical videos are great, but this is the first time I actually have fun watching a blind tasting 🙏
Amazing how well the Chilean and Argentinian wines have progressed with regards to quality. Pity we can’t get more of them in Australia. Thanks for a great video Agnese.
Yeah, I left it out because right before it I published a video dedicated only to the Tuscan wines made from Bordeaux grapes. 🍇 I always miss the fact that on RUclips each video acts as a separate entity. 🤦♀️
Isn’t the El Enemigo that got 100p (from both Robert P and James S) the ”GRAN ENEMIGO "GUALTALLARY" 2019”, which is a vineyard specific 85% Cab Franc, 15% Malbec. While the ”GRAN ENEMIGO 2018” is 50% malbec, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 15% cabernet franc, 10% merlot and 5% petit verdot. I have the 2018 Gran Enemigo at home however so glad you liked it! Thank you for the videos, much appriciated!
A fun & interesting video, thank you Agnes. I did guess most of them correctly, though I couldn't figure out the South African one. Bordeaux blends are enjoyable whenever you are in the wine world. I think it could be interesting to do a Bordeaux blend tasting with wines from Eastern Europe and the Near/Middle East. As they wines show their terroir quite well and the indigenous cultivars add a fun twist to the blends.
Well, for me the most confusing was and still is the New Zealand one. I kept re-tasting it over several days and make a profile of that wine in my head, so I know the next time I am blind tasting! 😅 unfortunately, I myself am not as familiar with Eastern European wines in general, therefore, I would be struggling more. 😉
Oooo, that is tricky, at least for the blind tasting. I recently did blind tasting of still Douro red and was struggling with it. Therefore cheers and salute! 🎉🥂
Great video, Agnes! It's very informative to see how a professional tastes wine. You are a very interesting person! You remind me of a Romanian sommelier I met years ago named Daniela Oancea. You could speak to her for hours and hours and she always had something fascinating to say about wine and life.
Great job tasting and identifying. Bordeaux blends have become my favorite and always anxious to try new ones. I guess the French forced everyone else to do something other than bottle single grape varieties. Really enjoy your videos. Just returned from Italy and met up with some really good local grapes in Modena and Parma...more than just Lambrusco.
Thank You! 🙏🏻 Relatively recent poll showed that people are interested into blind tastings - therefore we are planning to have more of these on the channel. Hopefully You will enjoy those as much as this one! 🙃☺️😉
Great video! I’m a fan of the Clos Apalta 😊. Thanks for the introduction to El Enemigo, had not heard of them previously but will be checking that one out! Like the new haircut, reminds me of Jean Seberg from Breathless 😊.
Great presentation! Blends are often risky to try here in the States. When you find a tasty one, by the time you go back it’s all sold out. One great one recently was Caymus Suisun “The Walking Fool”, a Wagner blend from the little-known the valley east of Napa. Now I must find where in the US I can procure the El Enemigo you gave the 10 to!
I hear that wines of California are in high demand locally and all the best ones are easily sold out. That is also why we get hardly any California wines from a smaller wineries here in EU. 😐 And if You get El Enemigo, I do hope You will enjoy it as much as I did. 🍷🍷🍷
Enjoyed your presentation very much. Huge fan of Le Petit Clos ( 2018 in my cellar ) which I prefer to the Gran Enimigo. I am always disappointed in the South African wines selected for tastings - there are so many much better examples of Bordeaux blends from SA - Glenelley Lady May, Keermont Amphitheatre, Taaibosch Crescendo, Paul Sauer from Kanonkop, Constantia Glen V, De Toren Fusion V, Mvemve Raats de Compestella and many others far more interesting blends and worthy of comparison in a line up like this presentation. I have all of these in my cellar together with many Bordeaux blends and enjoy them all. Thanks again and I shall give the Craggy Range a try. Cheers.
When you mentioned Eucalyptus, I immediately thought of Napa. I remember all the Eucalyptus tree row windbreaks there, placed perpendicular to the wind direction (just as I had in my backyard when growing up in So Cal). Why do I mention the Eucalypus trees? Look where they put the large bins/hoppers during "crush". Right under the trees! (A secret revealed to me by a wine insider.) That is why young Napa reds taste like you've been hit by baseball bat, and why they need to lie down for a bit. I don't know if the windbreaks are still there (they did serve a purpose), but the "bat to the face" is what I remember of Napa reds.
I am sure You right. 🌱 We each have our associations. For me Eucalyptus on the nose immediately takes to Australia. Apparently some of the leaves constantly would get mixed into the grapes, and because the aroma of eucalyptus is so strong, it is enough to add that distinctive flavour to the wine. 🍷 Cheers!
@@NoSediment I should have mentioned that the Eucalyptus trees planted in California had their origin from Australia. They were originally brought here during the Gold Rush as a possible source of lumber (which failed); they were later set up for wind abatement (yes, I am a trained historian).
Unfortunately no.. 😢 it was because I had another video made, where I tasted only Super Tuscan wines, and I didn’t want it to be repetitive. 😣 But yes, of course Super Tuscany would fit nicely here.. 🙌
That is true, it is because I did similar video with all the wines being SuperTuscans. Therefore it was excluded in this video. But, yes, it would be logical to include it here! 😅
You are not biased! I should have included Coonawarra, You are right! I truly like those wines - but then again, in my experience they tend to be more single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon. And we were looking into Bordeaux Blend this time. 🤔🤔🤔🍷
Very recently discovered your channel and I think you have offered some fresh topics to cover. Ur Vizsla is very cute too (I have a V myself) . Question:. do you think you would be able to determine the country of origin of the wines if you tasted the wines blind but did not know the possible countries upfront?
Hi, thank You for the lovely comment! 🙌🙌🙌 and my Vizsla - Obi Wan also sends hi! 🐕 Regarding Your question - complete blind tasting is of course way harder, and I cannot for 💯 say that I would have placed these wines in their respective origins. However, I wish to believe that Chile, Argentina and California would have been wines I can spot. But, I also say this only because Chilean wine was based on Carmenere and Argentinean was based on Malbec. If both of those wines would have been based on Cabernet Sauvignon - that would have made it more difficult! 😓
Me too, I think I have maybe tasted these wines only few times in my life, so only theoretical knowledge 😓😐 Probably should place an order and taste! 😊🍷
Well, 7.8 is close to be a silver, so it is definitely not low. 🫣🫣 Why I scored it lower then others, maybe because the alcohol for my taste was not integrated as well. Tannins were high, but they were of a good quality. 🍷 Hope I answered Your question’ 🍾✨
I am so really sorry, yes, there should have been a Tuscan red here, but I excluded them because I had planned another video that highlights only these wines. Coming soon… 🤞hopefully You will enjoy it.
Great video, thank you. Has James Suckling ever given a South American wine a poor score though? When you compare his scores against other critics' scores for the same South American wine he's almost always the highest scorer.
I haven’t compared actually. I guess we all have our preferences, and we also have regions and styles we feel most comfortable with, in terms of knowing the style and quality levels. What I mean by that if You know wines well of a certain region it is easier to score them. 🙌🙌🙌 and score them accordingly! ☺️
Once I learned about the shapes of bordeaux vs burgundy I have started going back and forth between colors instead of just green yellow red repeat. I kind of really enjoyed Merlot:Pinot Grigio. I'd like to find a mascato:pinot noir or Reisling type of broadened spectrum. :)
@@NoSediment I always thought "when red touches yellow your a dead fellow but if red touches black your alright jack. lol. So I never drank a chardonnay before or after a red wine before. I know its kinda a cheap gimmick because white wines are white wines but when you buy from the station the whites are in yellow bottles. and the reds are in red/brown. lol. So They make green bottles for the whiter whites. like pinot grigios or mascatos. please forgive me if I am even making people upset im not trying to be rude im just an american hahaha
@@typerightseesight friend, that is a rhyme to tell the difference between coral snake, which will kill you, and a king snake, which will not, because their color schemes are very similar. It has nothing to do with wine.
Oh Australia got left off the list 😢. Do yourself a favour and track down a Mount Mary Quintet is outstanding, and Yarra Yering Dry Red No.1 is very good too.
I am so sorry, but please know, it is not because I don’t enjoy Australian wines, it simply happened that way. 🥹 I made a note and will try to find the wines You suggested! 🙌 Thank You for the tip! 🍷
@@NoSediment not a problem. Yes I’m quite sure you didn’t mean to leave it off the list. I just wanted to make sure you try some for a fair comparison. I enjoy your commentary, extensive knowledge, and informative posts.
I disagree about vintages. Because they don’t have the same weight in the New World as in Europe. 🤷♀️ Also in Southern Hemisphere grapes are harvested on February/March - therefore the same vintage makes no sense as the grape growing wasn’t even at the same period. 🤷♀️ But on the other hand, yes, it is not a scientific comparison, but was meant more as fun tasting to have! 🙌 So, please, please don’t take it too seriously! 🙏🏻 Cheers! 🥂🍾
Well, they do have some great wines, no doubt! 🥂 But they also produce a lot of ‘everyday quality’. And I am sure that at some price categories other origins can offer better quality-price performance! ✨ Cheers! 🍷
Yes, of course, In Bordeaux vintage matters a lot! 🙃 2017 was really not the greatest vintage, but then again there have been producers capable of making good wines. Saying that, this wine could have performed even better if I had chosen another vintage, agree with You! 🍷
I've had El Enemigo Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Bonarda. I guess now I'll have to try their Bordeaux blend!
Well, apparently You like the producer just as much as I do. 🙏🏻🍷
Thank you for this useful video. I appreciate your videos because they are : concise, well explained for non specialists. Very rare.
Very sweet of You. Thank You. I am very happy You enjoy the videos, that gives me more motivation to work on them. 🙏🏻🙌

Thank You! I have been extremely lucky up until now - to be honest, I don’t do so well (in terms of spotting origins) at school! 🥹😓
