Are the Best BORDEAUX BLENDS Actually Made in Bordeaux? (Wine Blind Tasting)

Now this was an amazing wine blind tasting! In blind tasted 6 Bordeaux blends from all around the world, including Bordeaux region itself, to determine where the best blend can be found. I tried to assess which one is which and see how different terroir and winemaking can influence the final wine. Check out how I managed this task.
