I was wondering how Suckling got such a high rating. Then I realized it's the producers doing the rating. They must love his inflated scores.

Very fun and (would you believe it) interesting read.

I understand you can be critic of anything. It is true that there are more low score critics than wines!

Seems to me I recognize Jim in the middle of the pack of critics...

The original article in French names names.

Yes it does...

It's worthless without names! Either provide a key or link the French original version! thanks

Scroll down and you will see it.

That was a fun read...Pretty comical...But wondering where would Parker fit in the mix.

Also, what does the french article say about LPB. What does suivre in french mean? Where is Nic?

[Comte Flaneur]

I am sure if Izak was in the mix he too would score 93-95.

LOL looks like Neal Martin got significant points just for not being an egotistical asshole. Important for success in life!

Stinging review of Jeff Leve, concluding with the Relais et Chateau prize, but he does beat out several MW.

FYI 'a suivre' means 'to follow' [in the future], not enough info to judge yet.

We did that here several years ago. I think we concluded it was JimHow first and everyone else a distant second.

Very funny read.

Ian, do you really mean me in top among the critics, or are just kidding me/ironic,

[Comte Flaneur]

Izak I think you would be a lousy diplomat but I think you are a great wine critic. I have put my hard earned savings into wines you have recommended
