Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 18, 2016 - Did not expect it to be so youthful. Like a racehorse clearing Beeches Brook with a few feet to spare, vibrant, but there are clear signs of maturity on the nose, delicious. Has the structure, definition and class of all things great, but I enjoyed it now . Hard pushed to decide if I prefer the 2005, for different reasons. Long, long finish.

I'm just puzzled that some people have difficulties using the 100-point system, even though it's explained in detail here: https://www.cellartracker.com/content.asp?iContent=34

A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.

This is probably because , like me, they see no point whatsoever in using a 100 point system that declares any wine scoring less than 59 "to be deemed unacceptable". We see wine tasting as enjoyment , fun and more importantly, accept and encourage the fact that wine tasting will yield many individual and personal opinions. It is aso a lot more interesting to read comments rather than a score.
