100 Point Rating Guide

96-100 Extraordinary A wine of finesse, complexity, and expression. True to variety and region. Perfect balance of flavors with a long finish.
90-95 Excellent True to variety and region, with terrific complexity and balance. While not a wine for the ages, a superior example.
85-89 Good Meets your expectations, with sound flavors and balance. Might have limited complexity or be short on the palate. A sound wine.
80-84 Average Drinkable, might not have as much varietal character. Simple flavors, no flaws, but nothing special.
75-79 Below Average Might contain one flaw, simple straight-forward flavors, off-balance, unpleasant.
60-74 Undrinkable, Flawed Contains significant flaws. Unpleasant, not commercially acceptable.

Had some weird flavor going on, like woodsy/earthy ... but maybe it's just that shiraz aint my thang. But it did lack body, it was rather thin. It may go better with some food, as it can't really stand on its own. It's just not that tasty of a wine for pure sipping.

Did this blind vs the Yellow tail.

Earth, cherry. Nice mouthfeel. More restrained than the yellow tail on the nose. Ok finish, at least there was some kick afterwards. Typical cheap manipulated shiraz though, wayyyy too much vanilla/oak flavors. But again smooth. More acidic/bite than the Yellow Tail which was welcome.
