About Professional Wine Ratings

A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine. Professional wine rating scores from a wide range of critics, for example Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, are usually adjusted for the 100-point scale. A mean of these scores is presented for specific vintages of a wine, as well as across all vintages.

About The Wine

The 1996 Colheita Tawny Port adds a layer of classic, "old Tawny" concentration of flavor to the finish, making it far more complex than Sogevinus' fresher 2000 Cálem, also reviewed. The finish is laced with notes of Brandy and just a hint or two of molasses. Of the youngsters, this is the more intriguing because of its complexity, although the Cálem is the sexier. This understated 1996 is also a bit firmer in the mid-palate and lingers longer, showing notable grip on the finish. RP

Food Match

A good marriage of food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.
