On my tasting notes: I use a standardized 100-point scale. To wit:
Up to 5 points for nose intensity.
Up to 25 points for flavor intensity.
Up to 10 points for flavor quality.
Up to 5 points each for balance and finish length.
And 50 points for showing up with alcohol.
I also maintain a blog of sorts, rambling about wine at corkdorksramblings.blogspot.com.
This is me on top of Rattlesnake Hill, at the Barnett estate on Spring Mountain, sipping a glass of Barnett Rattlesnake Hill cabernet.

Decently balanced, with a nice mix of cassis, green pepper, herb, and a touch of oak.

Needed about an hour to blow off the alcohol, but once that happened, there was a great volume to the nose and the mouth, lots of raspberry and spice, with a nice hit of pepper and smoke on the finish. So, decant before drinking, and drink before 2022.

A deliciously balanced wine, with plenty of weight, dark fruit, and velvety texture. Certainly drinking well right now, and should be youthful for the next couple of years.
