Reserved for wines which are beyond the<br />

scale, like the 37 d'Yquem or the 47<br />

Château Cheval Blanc.<br />

Every aspect is perfect. Only very few wines,<br />

and only in great vintages.<br />

Former vintage wines of the century on<br />

their descending journey and young<br />

aspirants for the vintage wine of the century.<br />

Around 130 wines every year are rated<br />

19/20 in Bordeaux, about half of them<br />

older than 30 years.<br />

Outstanding in blind degustations. They<br />

show strength, concentration nuances and<br />

a personal character. The price is irrelevant<br />

for the point evaluation from this level on.<br />

A very good wine with independent<br />

character but missing the touch of greatness.<br />

Around 400 every year in Bordeaux<br />

for example.<br />

A very good wine is fun to drink even for<br />

wine-lovers. Often the best wines from<br />

small vintages or the prestigious losers<br />

from good vintages. Very often good value<br />

for the price.<br />

For certain wines just the word -good -<br />

comes to mind. Nothing special, but simply<br />

good.<br />

Satisfactory wine, the lowest <strong>qua</strong>lity level for<br />

some praise.<br />

Below average for the vintage and below<br />

comparable wineries. Useful for standard<br />

cooking.<br />

Not good enough to be sold by a <strong>qua</strong>lity<br />

label. Destined for a<strong>non</strong>ymous mass-wine<br />

sales.<br />

Only produced by a very <strong>non</strong> ambitious<br />

wine maker.<br />

Industrial alcohol standard.
