The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 – 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 – 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 – 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 – 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 – 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
I am Konstantin Baum, Master of Wine, and this channel isn’t a one way street. I am happy to share my knowledge, but I also want to learn from you. I asked for your suggestions on your favorite wines and Leon selected six examples that I will taste, review, and maybe even roast. First of all thank you very much for all of your suggestions. I have received over 400 comments across YouTube and Instagram so I could make subscriber suggested tastings for the rest of the year.
Leon went through them all and picked out six wines, that should be widely available, still affordable, and interesting, but I don’t know what they are yet.
