Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine: 96 points
October 18, 2014 - Fete de Champagne Grand Tasting (Astor Center, NYC.): Disgorged 12-23-13, a blend of wine from 02, 03, and 04. 1.5% dosage. Classic Selosse nose - pears, lemon peel, cidery - ox, minerals, chalk, spicy, soaring, green apple, pear. Huge and gripping on the palate with apple, pear, spice, chalk, and a touch of vanilla. Great showing for the Inital. Better, IMO, than the 02 Salon I just had before this. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 18/20.

11/25/14, 5:42 AM - Thanks for the kind comment and for the question. If you look at my profile , you will see that I primarily use a 20-point system. I then scale it to fit to the 100-point system that others use. The mapping is not multiplicative, since the 100-point system really only uses 60-100 mathematically (and 80-100 in reality). So the mapping I use is 60 + (my score * 2) = new score, where the 'new score' is the score on the 100-pt scale. I've found this to be a reliable mapping between the two.
