About Professional Wine Ratings

A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine. Professional wine rating scores from a wide range of critics, for example Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, are usually adjusted for the 100-point scale. A mean of these scores is presented for specific vintages of a wine, as well as across all vintages.

About The Wine

The 1998 Quinault l'Enclos gives up mature notes of dried mulberries, raisin cake and prunes with touches of dried roses, star anise, incense, leather and dried mint. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals a wine at its peak or perhaps on the downward slide, depending on your preferred state of "maturity," offering powdery tannins and a lively line of acid to frame the earth and spice-inspired layers, finishing on a lingering aniseed note.

Food Match

A good marriage of food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.
