Top-rated wines... but where's the joy? Not long ago, I bought a wine that was rated 98 points. It ticked every technical box - it was balanced, structured, and complex - but I couldn’t help feeling a bit underwhelmed. This experience made me stop and think. We talk a lot about wine ratings in this industry. But are we then overlooking the simple pleasure of enjoying a wine?

There are a great many aromas and tastes that we all enjoy when we drink a glass of wine, but unfortunately, there are also many defects.
