Re: A 12/20 rating is a barely above average wine
Ver mensaje de Juan SuchJuan, you may be correct that, at least theoretically in Parker’s scoring scheme, an 80 point wine may have no technical flaws. I have heard that JR’s scoring does not convert directly to Parker’s, although I do not subscibe to her Purple Pages and do not know for sure. I do see where she has said on the free part of her website that she awards only full and half-points, and that the ";great majority"; of wines are scored somewhere between 15 and 18.5. This only gives eight possible scores for ";non-exceptional wines"; - ";an improvement on the [traditional British] five star system."; Isn’t she saying that, under her system as she practices it, 12 is exceptionally bad?
