    I have scored quite a few wines on this channel, and I am going to continue scoring wines for you guys. Not because I think that there is no other way to talk about the quality of the wine but and because I think, that scores are perfect but because I think they are a helpful addition to my reviews as they represent a firm commitment. I know, however, that scores are very confusing to some of you, so I decided to show you how scores work by tasting two extreme examples next to each other: First: Likely one of the worst wines in the world. And Second: A wine that received a perfect score of 100 points from Robert Parker and is therefore probably one of the best wines in the world …
    I realize that scores are a tricky topic and I have received a few comments on the latest videos that I have to talk about. I score wines because it makes it easier for you and my customers to understand which wines I preferred in a tasting and because it helps ME keep track of which wines, I liked best
    One big problem with Scores is that they can be confusing as few people seem to understand the 100-point scale so let’s start with that. There are many different scoring systems but by far the most important one today is the 100-point system.
    It does not start at 0 but instead starts at 50 points for an unacceptable wine and then goes up to 100 points for a perfect wine. This is loosely based on the US High School grading system where a score of 50-60 points is an F.

    I'm a camera operator that travels and films with a myriad of subjects. I had a chance to follow a higher profile actor around the world for his own reality show. This person has a reputation for loving expensive red wines; also he seemed ok walking away from half finished bottles, or letting some crew get a pour of something special. This led me to splitting the last half of a 2012 Petrus with another colleague as well filming on the grounds of Sassicaia with an all included lunch/tasting at the end. The conditions of my job is probably the only way I would have had a chance to experience any of this, so I am grateful for the opportunity. While i was always attracted to aura of wine and the dusty cellar, these few sips were enough for me to want to continue my journey with wine and learn as much as I can; albeit with a mostly working class budget.

    The best wine I’ve ever tasted was Chateau Lafite 1920 in the seventies. 100 points. This wine was what‘s become the definition of a great Bordeaux for me. More recently it was a Quinta do Cotto Grande Escolha 1985 from Portugal. The wine was 20 years old. Tastes like a great aged Bordeaux. I would rate this wine at 95 points and I bet that it would even be better today.

    Again, relatively new to the wine world, but to date I think the best wine I've ever had was from a local winery here in Texas. It was a Heath Sparkling Blanc de Blanc and it was absolutely delicious!

    Robert Parker 100 points ratings go hand-in-hand with the amenities bestowed on him by the winemakers upon his vacations. I remember once seeing him at Quinta do Vallado fuming for not having a villa (he was given a very comfortable room for free) and making off-handed remarks about the wine. Quinta do Vallado scores never were the same after that.

      After being dog-bitten at Chateau Margaux his score went up dramatically for that vintage of the same wine. Apparently there are mighty factors beyond winemaking or viticulture that could fetch higher scores. Successful winemaker today need to be a tad more entrepreneurial than just resting on pure winemaking passion.

      @@RvdW22 In the end, yes. Dirk Nieport's approach to wine critics is to just send the bottles for review, nothing more: no visits, no extra wine cases, no Michelin-studded meals to go with the wine. That why his wines are one of the best kept secrets in the world, with Turris being probably the best wine currently produced.

      I posted a reply to this in which I took issue with the comments in the main note. I stated that I know Robert Parker well and have been with him on a number of occasions. Aside from his ability as a wine critic, he is unpretentious and honest and my reply said so. I am disappointed to see that my reply was not published. And the dog bite incident was not at Chateau Margaux, as another note states. I do not agree with every comment or grade Parker provides but question any note which seeks to cast aspersions on his honesty or integrity.

    I was first exposed to drinking wine in the early 80's when I lived in northern California. Both of my brothers-in-law were avid wine drinkers and collectors of wine. Most of the wines I drank were either from Napa or Sonoma. Many of them were very good and cultivated within me a deep appreciation of fine wines. I had a surgery around 2010 that removed polyps from my nasal cavity and reduced my sense of taste and smell by about 80 percent. I can still taste the difference between a good wine and a bad wine but the bad wine just doesn't bother me like it would have long ago because of the surgery. I usually just drink box wine these days. It is cheap and it just doesn't make sense to spend more money on better wine quality when I can only just barely discern that better quality. Still, the box wine isn't terrible and I can enjoy the memories of the delicious wines from my youth as I drink the plonk. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos that echo my fond memories of the flavors and tasting experiences of those bygone days when I could more appreciate them. I hope your channel thrives for as long as you desire to continue it. Thanks.

    I’d be keen to see a video about your 100 points wines which didn’t get the 100 points by the critics. Also, maybe something around your best rated wines below $100 US.

    If you keep consistent uploads you will grow faster and faster for sure. The content is of quality and the editing and video is great. People will come if you keep putting out this level. Could you do a tasting of a range of wines from a single general area? Like tasting 5 wines from Rhone valley, Puglia or Sicily while explaining what different areas within that region can offer to a whine? I feel like this would help me learn to taste nuanced difference myself, and not just the difference pinot noir vs cab for example. And it would maybe help those of us with a bit more of a budget to find wines with good value if the areas are a bit underappreciated.

The only time I maybe think something is a sure thing is if the two most prominent critics agree on a wine. There is one mind that I will never forget; it was a 1966 Volnay which I had the privilege of drinking in 1999. It just blew me away. Sadly I don’t remember the grower or the vineyard.

    Really expensive wines are mostly out of my budget range (though I did put a 2017 of the Spotswoode in my wish list, thanks to this video), and being a music collector also means I have to weigh one interest against the other, so I very rarely buy wines over around 28 Euros (I have three in my cellar that broke the 30 Euro mark. Yet to try them, though). With that in mind, the best wine I've probably had is a Cascina Castlet Passum Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2016, which sells for around 28.50 in Norway. I find it exceptional. Rich, balanced, velvety tannins. Has become my "house wine" in the sense that I keep a bottle around for special occasions.

With that qualification, the best wine I've had so far -- without a doubt -- is the 2021 Missing Spire Riesling from Left Foot Charley in Traverse City, Michigan. That's right, MICHIGAN. Tom Stevenson said that Brian Ulbrich, winemaker for left Foot Charley, is a white-wine genius. This, my first taste of his work, didn't disappoint after that high recommendation.

    Afterwards we had a bottle of a wine that would probably score 88-90 points, so a very nice wine too, but the difference was mind boggling.

    My experience with expensive wines being limited to a number of 2nd growth Bordeaux and some higher end but not top Burgundies and some 2nd tier California and Washington State wines. My most memorable tasting of red wine was a bottle of Ridge Zinfandel (don't remember the vintage - mid 80's I believe?) This wine exploded on my palate with such intense mineral flavors that it literally made me jump out of my chair.

    Nice video…. Your sessions are very educational! I think scores can help, if you’re an everyday consumer or a wine geek, but they have different purposes. The everyday consumer can use a score to help them find something they can “trust” while the geek, if they find a professional who has a similar palate to theirs, can help them move into new varieties and varietals. In either case, I’ve had some stunning wines. A couple that stick out in my mind, 97 dead arm Shiraz from d’arenberg, 67 Yquem, 2010 Lopez De Heredia Vina Tondia Rose, 92 Peter Lauer Riesling Sekt, 90 Clos Sainte Hune, 2019 Scacciadiavoli Spumante Rose, 59 Solaria primitivo, 2017 Ben Rye Passito di Pantelleria, 2015 Corton-Charlemange Gran Cru. Not all “100” pointers, but each were memorable.

    1997 sassicaia in a small village in the Italian alps together with steak fionrentina in 2016. The restaurant sold it below retail value for the new releases., so a double steal. 1982 pichon lalande got me into wine collection - and is the producer I lay down the most of.

    08:02 I got curious and would like to suggest ideas for videos:
    I would be very interested in a video about wine aging. How can I decide on how long a wine can (or even has to) rest longer in order to find the right timing to drink it?
    How can we differentiate between wines that should be opened "immediately" and wines that are made to mature in the bottle?
    And in addition: How to choose wines to put into your cellar to let them age?
    Danke und liebe Grüße aus dem Rheinland

    Have not had many expensive wines, but had a glass of Yarra Yerring Dry Red No.1 2011 two years ago and the nose was enough for me. I've never smelled anything like it in a wine before, it was amazing. In fact the mouth feel and the taste was slightly disappointing afterwards, will never forget that experience. Now I have a benchmark for what a great wine should smell like at least. Love your show, wine critics lose their objectivity as soon as they become a commercial enterprise e.g. James Halliday (Australia - take off 3 - 4 points for his ratings if you want the realistic score). Much prefer objectivity of MW's as they are not rock starts but wine lovers.

    The best wine would be Port wine, Krohn Colheita 1978. Just blissful. The best red wine is more difficult, but perhaps La Collina di Dioniso Roberto Sarotto Barolo Riserva 2006. A wine one could consume only smelling it for hours. Not a 100 point wine, but close.

  • @Chris-pc4ym
    @Chris-pc4ym 2 года назад +2

    Do you think one of the problems with wine ratings is that it has biases of the taster personal preferences of certain styles? Ie. If Parker has a preference for big Napa cabs.
    Wonder if it’s best to rate only based on quality (balance, complexity, length etc) no matter the wine making style. And then describe the style separately

    Hmmm, the best wine I have ever tasted? That’s not something I really keep track of, but I remember drinking a Quintarelli Amarone della Valpolicella that, at the moment I was drinking it, seemed to offer everything I could ask for in a wine. I enjoyed every drop! Not being a wine professional I do not have to worry about being consistent. I have no doubt drunk “better” wines, but that bottle really stood out.

At under €20 it’s a great, complex, white wine, that can actually be stored for many years ! I’ve had many ‘better’ wines that are way more expensive… this one keeps surprizing me.
