The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber 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 flavor 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 straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 – 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 – 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
Portuguese wines have many things going for them as the country has a long history, a lot of indigenous grape varieties, and diverse Terroirs, and on top of that, the wines are generally cheap.
It is the 10th largest wine producer in the world. While the country looks out over the Atlantic and was instrumental in discovering the rest of the world, it was also isolated for a long time and therefore stuck to old traditions, methods, and varieties.
With Port and Madeira Portugal continues to produce some of the most famous fortified wines, but there are also great table wines coming out of Portugal – especially today.
