I hate blind tasting before an audience. Not for any righteous
theoretical reason but simply because I'm no good at it. Blind
tasting is for people like Oz Clarke, who once was given a glass
containing Hermitage La Chapelle in a mixture of two vintages: 1982
and 1983. Clarke said he thought it was La Chapelle - but couldn't
decide whether it was the '82 or the '83.
I don't possess the vast experience, or the acute "taste memory"
that's needed for blind tasting. When asked to take part, I usually
run and hide.
But if the tasting is in a good cause, even public humiliation
doesn't faze me. And such an occasion recently presented itself.
