96-100 An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the
attributes expected of classic wines of the variety. Wines of this calibre 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
flavour 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
straight-forward innocuous wine.

and or tannin, an absence of flavour or possible dirty aromas or flavours
50-59 A wine deemed to be unacceptable
