No, there is too much, let me sum up
Wine scoring is subjective. Take it as such
Way too many variables.

I want to be a professional basketball player, but I contend that my height, reach, vertical jump should not be measured and compared against others as this would amount to discrimination...AKR wrote:Now that the University of California has banned SAT/ACT testing, since it discriminates, maybe the BATF will ban wine scoring, since it too can have disparate impact.
Tommy/Gail from DC/CO and I sipped from a 1918 Haut Brion a couple years ago at my house.I wonder about how far the fills of these old wine bottles are, especially the 100 yr old lanessan. I have never seen a 100 yr old bottle, let alone taste such....
Now i understand why exist the fake wine: a fake 2009 Cos d'Estournel is probably better than the real thing!Musigny 151 wrote:I John Gilman, a close friend, used to devote the occasional article to train wrecks. He reserved his anger for wines with great terroir which were ruined in the cellar and vineyard. Pavie was a frequent visitor, but perhaps the most memorable one was the Cos d’Estournel 2009 which he scored 68. He wrote about the ridiculous overripeness and contempt for the history of the region and the intelligence of its clients. He compared the viscosity to that of motor, and wondered if he wouldn’t prefer to drink the motor oil. It was savage, funny, and a good read.
Not surprisingly, we have many of the same likes and dislikes. I remember tasting the wine with him, and hating it too.
Our friend Jeff Leve gave a 100 point score to a bottle of the real Cos which he opened in 2019, so I suppose it's really a matter of personal taste.Nicklasss wrote: Now i understand why exist the fake wine: a fake 2009 Cos d'Estournel is probably better than the real thing!

Ain’t that the truth. Parker also gave it 100. And it is definitely a wine that is seriously divisive. Jeff and I have had a few “discussions” about this wine.Racer Chris wrote:Our friend Jeff Leve gave a 100 point score to a bottle of the real Cos which he opened in 2019, so I suppose it's really a matter of personal taste.Nicklasss wrote: Now i understand why exist the fake wine: a fake 2009 Cos d'Estournel is probably better than the real thing!

At high school hockey games in Maine, I shit you not, fans are not allowed to boo.
That backpass rule is still the cause of one of my nightmares!Musigny 151 wrote:How about those back passes to the goalkeeper by the defenders? That caused a few rows.
I got to the point where when I got the kids together before the game, I told them I would call it every time.
Ah, 'twas a kinder gentler time then....stefan wrote:Gosh, I coached stefanJr's soccer team for years when he was a kid. Never had a problem with parents or referees (this was before the back pass rule). But then the other coaches and I were pretty scary guys and parents were probably afraid to mess with us.
As a latecomer to this thread I just to say an amazing tasting to mark VE Day, Izak and thank you for taking the time to initiate this thread.greatbxfreak wrote:Back to subject, please.
