  Scoring Factors Description
  Deliciousness Factor
  The is the base score for the wine, puts the score in a range
  Score of 1, 2 or 3
  1 - Doesn't leave me wanting more (base score: D)
  2 - Decent (base score: C)
  3 - Why is the bottle empty already (base score: B+)
  
  Refinements
  These are sub-factors which skew the score one way or another. Each factor is again a 3 point scale:
  -1 : Didn't like
  0 : No strong feeling or Don't remember
  +1 : Liked
  
  Each refinement can move the overall score by 1 position (ie, from a B+ to a A or a D to D-)
  
  So if a wine has an overall deliciousness of a B+, but was too expensive for what I thought I got, then it would be a B

  Value
  yes, value. If I know the cost value always comes into play. If I don't know the cost this doesn't change the score.

  Exotic nose of coconut and roated nuts. Very pale, but packed with flavour. Its over done, over the top and needs the oak to be cut back a bit. Still it mellows out slightly in the glass and it is fun to drink this style now and again. Think Limoux crossed with a top Chilean Chardonnay.
