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.

Sweet. Slightly effervescent again. Cream soda. Goes well with spicy foods.

Almost tingling / sparkling. Sweet and needs to be cold or needs more brawn, acidity. Not my style.

1Weingut Grans Fassian Piesporter Goldtropechen Spatlese

Riesling, and especially Piesporter should not have any oak (or oak flavoring for that matter), what-so-ever.

A good Piesporter Spatelese should smell peachy, with tropical notes, it should be pleasantly off dry to mildly sweet and display some minerality too. Great one's have a vibrant acidity that keeps them fresh and lively. This is a style of wine that has had varrying degrees of popularity over the years stretching back to the middle ages. There are some really spectacular examples to be had out there. Keep tasting.
