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.
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.
One of Australia's great red wines, the 2019 Maurice O'Shea Shiraz is concentrated and intense. It's hard to imagine how so much flavor could be packed into just one glass. And never mind that; I tasted a 2014 the other week (not old by any stretch of the imagination), and it had not moved an inch from inception, which bodes well for long-term cellaring. You get roasted lamb crust (blood, fat, rosemary, pepper, etc.), salted pomegranate, clove bud, crushed rocks, nutmeg and sandalwood. RP
