I've had a whole bunch of RP 100 wines over the years, mainly from Bordeaux and southern Rhône, but my absolute favourite in recent years is the 2009 Vieux Château Certan, which (only) scored 99 points by RP himself in 2011. Fortunately I have one more bottle to pop 🙏

Wow, nice...I have 3 of those I bought as futures at $239 ea. Suckling gave it a 100. I've had the '82 Mouton & Haut Brion as well as the '59 Lafite. The Lafite was past it's prime IMO when I had it for my 40th birthday party. The '82 I had for my 50th and was still closed. I have several other 2009's like the Montrose. Pontet Canet and others (7 cases) that I haven't tried yet.

We were in Chateauneuf-du-Pape in 2013, it was actually my 36th birthday. We had a tasting set up at Domaine du Pegau. When we entered, there was a group of Norwegian Men. Their 'boys trip' was to travel Europe, seeking out Robert Parker 100 point wines. So they bought "Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee da Capo 2010" for the table, and we got to try it. A nice birthday surprise.

I kinda remember reading that Wine Spectator does not rate how a wine is showing at the point of tasting, but how it's gonna do when it hits its prime. Probably JS has the same approach, and then this causes some trouble, as the majority of wine lovers rate the actual performance of the wine (I do as well)
@drmatthewhorkey 11 ай бұрын
There was once a claim that Parker’s ratings above 90 were all about ageability too. You are right about actual performance. Scoring is in essence simple yet it’s tough… do you score against style or overall quality? Performance now or ageability? Sense of place or uniqueness?

Last week, I had some 1990 Chateau Latour (100 on Wine Spectator and their #1 wine in 1993). It was a beautiful wine, and I wish we’d been able to spend more time focused on just the wine. We were dinner guests so couldn’t request they hold dinner. It was a divine experience! Like many others who have commented, I’ve had several highly rated Chateauneuf-du-Papes over the years. That was one fantastic wine shopping trip: 1995s and 1998s were available, and I spent a week going only to the vineyards Robert Parker had written about. The vintners had French copies of the same book at their disposal, and they were very well-worn copies of a relatively young book!

Some years ago you could but 100 points chateauneuf du pape at a very low price compared to now. For instance 2001 mordorre reine des bois rated 100 points by Parker. I could buy 12 bottles from the domaine at only 35$.. Same price for 2007 clos des pape.which I was able to buy 5 cases of. Jansse vv at bit more. Those top chateauneuf have tripled in price since then

I have had several 100 points wines. Mostly from chateauneuf du pape. But also when I have attended blind tastings with several other people where we all had a small glass of several wines. Such tastings are really great and educational. There is always quite a bit of different opinions of the wines and also quite different opinions about what it is. I agree with you regarding the 100 points scale. When I first got into wines about 30 years ago 89 points was considered a really good wine. Nowadays it has to be at least 90 points to get any attention. In my view the 100 points scale is inflated. I look mostly at the descriptions of the wine critics and I trust certain wine critics more than others and especially if there is a consensus among those I trust most. That is especially important to me when I buy en primeur.

Coincidentally I'm also around 98-99 for the Guigal La Turque 2007, breath-taking length and concentration and beautilful meatiness. The Stella di Campalto Rosso (!) di Montalcino i also gave 98. And finally, I had earlier in 2023 an old bottle of Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle (tracked down to be iteration no19, with blend of 1995,96 and 97), that was also a 98 for me. Those are "all" the wines I've tried that have touched north of 97 for me.

As an aside, there seems to be an unholy alliance between Jeb and certain wine consultants that market the ratings to drive up prices for their producer clients. I mean, c’mon - a winemaker/consultant with literally dozens of 100 point wines over a 5-10 year period? I’m done. Rant over. It’s no surprise to me why younger generation drinkers aren’t coming into the market to buy these wines.

I was able to get my hands on both the 2005 and the 2006 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon upon release. Both were 99 point Decanter and the 2005 was 100 point Parker. I held them as long as I could before i cracked and drank them a few years ago, but they did get at least a decade in bottle. My feeling was that they were really good, but didn't warrant those scores. I've had better Washington State wines from Yakima or the Rocks District, and much better wines from both the southern and northern Rhône that were scored in the low-to-mid 90s. I once had the chance to taste a 1961 Chateau d'Yquem in a group purchase. I have no idea what the score of that wine was but it was transcendental. As you say, the experience weighs mightily on the score.

So, I started drinking a lot of cheap wines from Chile, and one day I decided to buy expensive wines to see how it was. I bought a Red Burgundy (probably on the 40-50 dollars range, retailing for around 100 dollars in Brazil) and a Brunello (Banfi!!!). I drank them both with my wife in the same day, and they honestly scored 100 points in my scale at the time. A neighbor showed up that day, and loved the whole deal (my wife cooked a delicious pasta to boot), and a week later, he said he was keeping a wine to drink with someone, but decided to share with us instead...and it was a Magnum from Tignanello, and it scored something like 250 points in my scale, and my life was never the same. I agree that scores are not the be-all-end-all, but are necessary. Unless you are the lady from the Cab Franc Chronicles, who deep dives on every aspect of the wines she drinks and honestly, doesn't need to score anything. And she does't taste...she drinks those babies, and she gets poetic about them. Knowing the critics help. As you said "Jeb Dunnuck" and mentioned a 99 points wine, I figured the Rhone would be involved. When you mentioned "single varietal", I figured Northern Rhone x Australia.

Never had a 99pt or 100pt wine myself. They've always been too expensive. Totally agree that scores are annoying but a good stake in ground to hold a critic accountable. Always odd when we read a very glowing review that doesn't seem to match the point score. And I'd be very happy to see ranges used more often, as one particular number implies that the wine must be exactly that score. Other factors definitely influence how we experience the wine. As for my own records, I use a 5pt scale with 1 being dump because it's awful and 5 being unforgettably exciting. I give most wines that I get to try 3pts - they're fine. That might correspond to 85-89 points.

100 point scales are useful but the numbers are usually pulled out of thin air without scoring in different categories and then adding them up. Most wine reviewers are very consistent in their scoring, Find one with preferences similar to your own and you will seldom be disappointed. I always liked the 20 point scale of Jancis Robson because it has looser demarcations. Is it 95 or 96 points, who cares, it scored 19 out of 20. For my own personal scoring, I used a 3 star system. Much looser again but takes into consideration styles and concentrates on how well the wine was made. Not a commercially successful method because it is not geared to moving product or creating demand but worked well in over 30 years in assisting customers in making their purchases.

Great discussion. Logic: out of 100 wines 1 should be 100 usually. Take points off 100 only for flaws. Rating is not for great art. Money spent matters; but rare does not mean good. Good water would get a million, but only if really rare? Ya know! Flaws are the key to rating , rather than the effect = what makes things distinctive, individual = unrateable! Really? Sharing perceptions is the purpose, subjective is the only way. Objective is for things that are standard. Wine is the opposite of standard, Right? Flaws are standard. Words are best way to get the point across about attractiveness.

You can make a "flawless" wine that isn't at all interesting. In competitions, we'll taste wines that obviously have no problems, but are absolutely boring.

Doctor, I don’t know what you are a doctor of , but it’s pretty ballsy to call Robert Parker “ infamous”. I recently retired from the wine business after 43 years which includes an inclusive 25 year stint as a brand manager and National sales manager for an importing company. You cannot dismiss the influence of Mr. Parker as “infamous. To date, he was the most important and influential wine reviewer in the late 20th and early 21st century and you should know better then to minimize his influence with your descriptor. Your reviews are at the end of the day, subjective, and it would behoove you to remember that.

I have huggggee respect for Robert Parker and like him and what he’s done for wine. It was a bit of an inside jk because some people detest critic scores and wasn’t meant to be so literal

@@drmatthewhorkey true, big difference though between over or underating a single wine Vs the overall quality of Bordeaux, Rhone etc. in a clearly disastrous vintage resulting in a tsunami of expensive, though ordinary wines.

Like your take on points however.

I never understood the assumption that 100pts = perfection. In school grades, those numbers, iirc, are percentages. Whereas in wine scoring, the numbers are on an arbitrary scale that tops out at 100. This is less a criticism of the scale than it is of the interpretation of results measured against the scale

The scale doesn’t totally make sense in wine - esp wines that are comple, but we humans like quantify and organize things the best we can.
