Riesling, Pfalz, Germany: https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/dr+burklin+wolf+gaisbohl+g+c+riesling+ruppertsberg+pfalz+germany/2021?referring_site=KSB The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com): 96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume. 90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines. 80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws. 70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine. 60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors. 50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable. The 100-point scale is a controversial topic – even if I don’t go into the things Luca Maroni does – if you don’t know what I am talking about, check out my video. While it is commonly used it is still confusing and I am often surprised about how little even people from the trade know about the meaning of a score. The system uses a 100-point quality scale in which wines are given a rating of 50 to 100 points. So yes, every wine gets 50 points for showing up and you could discuss whether that makes sense or not … Wines scoring 50-59 points are considered unacceptable and I rarely see wines scored this low. There are only 63 wines rated 59 or less on Robert Parker.com and most of these wines were rated by the man himself who … I gotta say didn’t hold back. About a 1974 Lafite Rothschild he wrote in 1982: This wine is browning badly, has a tired, stale, flat taste, and is inexcusably diluted, and very short and thin on the palate. Quite poor. 60-69 points mean that the wine is below average and contains noticeable deficiencies and I would say that there are fewer wines in that range today than back in the day because of improved quality management and technological advances. There are only 288 wines on robertparker.com with that rating. 70-79 points mean that a wine is average which means most wines should receive scores in that range. However, you rarely see scores in that range as wine critics don’t rate the run-of-the-mill-wines and when they do producers and distributors don’t want to promote the fact that their wines are average. There are 3346 wines on robertparker.com with that rating. 80-89 points are given to good to very good wines but in that range, you often find the best bargains. If a wine receives 90-95 points it is rated as outstanding and should be a great example of its type while 96-100 point wines are extraordinary and represent the best of the best. You know a 95 Point wine is not necessarily the best wine to drink, as your personal preferences and the situation you are consuming the wine in also play a role.
