April 30, 2014 - Deliciousness Factor : B+
Refinements
Smell : +1 (pleasant, earthy, minerally, licorice)
Depth of Flavour : +1 (cherries, minerals, delicate earth)
Mouth Feel : +1 (not perfectly round, but bright and very little tannin)
Finish : 0
Value : 0
Overall : A+ <-- This wine is drinking very well right now
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

Depth of Flavour
Mouth Feel
Finish
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.
