What Does The 100-Point Wine Scoring System Actually Mean?

Regular readers and wine connoisseurs might recall our recent post about the seventeen Anthonij Rupert wines that scored 90+ points in the prestigious Tim Atkin’s 2023 Special Report. The inclusion of no less than seventeen wines is a wonderful achievement on its own, but the incredible score these wines achieved might have slipped by folks unfamiliar with the world of fine wines.

It is meant to 'identify the qualities inherent to a particular wine's flavour profile' and score a bottle against the 'idealised iteration of that vintage'. While no bottle of wine that gets to the point where it is seriously reviewed ever falls under 50, most wines end up in the upper 80s .
