Hello, wine enthusiast.

Here are my tasting notes for different red wines. I don't consider myself near
to the professional wine connoisseurs, this is just a hobby for me. When I started this
I used a very simple method to rate wines but in 2010 I decided to change to the well known
100-point scale. I keep the old ratings (0-5 scale) as they are but mainly the idea is that
5 equals 100, 4 equals 90 and so on. This way they are someway comparable with new ratings.
Many ask my favourite wine country. If I have to say one, it's Chile. But others are great too.
Don't take the ratings too seriously. Feel free to think differently.

Just take a glass of wine and enjoy.

9 May 2012: wines rated





RATING WINES:

(see detailed descriptions from "wine tasting form" below)

Aroma (1-10 points)
Appearance (1-5 points)
Flavour and finish (1-10 points)
Mouth feel (1-5 points):
Overall score (1-20 points)

If you're using a 100-point scale then add 50 to get the final points.


Explanations to my ratings:
55 - 64 = Very basic, poor, unattractive or otherwise not suitable wine for my taste
65 - 74 = Nice but doesn't give any kind of shivers
75 - 79 = Quite good but basically still a mediocre wine
80 - 84 = Good wine
85 - 89 = Very good wine
90 - 94 = Excellent wine
95 - 100 = Just brilliant, top quality purchase. These will be introduced with a poem or few lines from a classic book.
