Whoever wrote this episode is an idiot and didn't bother to fact check anything.
Cheval Blanc and Vega Sicilia are totally different wines, made with different grapes and even different types of barrels but both use new barrels. A wine novice is able to tell them apart just by the way they smell...
The wine tasted Lignage doesn't exist, why didn't they choose a real one? Makes no sense. Blind tasting just the aromas leads to nowhere in identifying a wine.
So many things wrong with this episode it drives any wine enthusiast crazy. At least they got the bottle opening at the restaurant right.
