Aha! Confirmation that the 100-point scoring system is just the Marchbanks 5-point scale with added pointless points.
‘Under 80 points means there’s something critically flawed about the wine.
80 to 84 points means, “Not bad. I’ll drink it if it’s there, but I wouldn’t seek it out.”
85 to 89 points means, “Mmm, this is good!”
90 to 94 points means, “This is delicious. I want to know more about it.”
and 95 to 100 points is what we call “classic.” That means, “This wine is the best example of its style,” but also, “I’ll remember this wine for years to come.”’
Or as I prefer, ‘Jesus Christ!’, ‘Bof’, ‘Pretty good’, ‘Excellent’ and ‘Oh, man!’
