LIES! he prefers a 50 point scale augmented by 50 points and tasting notes that carefully note what flavors the biodynamic farming brings to the wine!

Are we filling up horns with sh..? The moon looks right.

I find tasting notes helpful, especially once I know if my own palate aligns with the tasters. Professional reviews/tasting notes (not points) can be hit or miss.

Wine.Woot! gets 10 bonus points on this poll for making me laugh at 8am... on a Wednesday... at work.

Tastings notes can be very helpful. However, they can also get absurd. I once read a debate between two tasters about the difference between the leather taste in wine. Certainly it exists. However, these two id1ots were arguing about what kind of leather. Feminine leather is more like saddle leather while masculine leather is more worn, like a boot. Go kill yourselves!

Types of fruit (red, blue/black), bright or dark, earth (tar, dirt, mushroom), floral, and oak (butter, smoke, vanilla, caramel) etc. are all very helpful.

Tasting notes' value depends entirely on the taster's palate and ability to express oneself.
