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 regularly surprised to see how many wine enthusiasts are using the wine app Vivino. I don’t think wine professionals are as excited about the app and I don’t use it but that doesn't matter.
There are more than 61 million users on the platform who have added 252 million ratings and close to 90 million wine descriptions –quite impressive.
In addition to the tasting notes and ratings, you can also find a TASTE SUMMARY for the wine you are looking at with a slider that shows you how heavy or light a wine is. You also see which flavor groups are mentioned most often. So there is a lot of information.
I am curious to find out whether wine amateurs can create tasting notes that help me understand the flavor and taste profile of wines to make an educated decision.
Leon has picked out 6 wines and I also have the tasting notes for those 6 wines in envelopes. I am going to taste the wines blind first and then I am going to see whether I can match the description to the wines -got it?!
