Isn’t the El Enemigo that got 100p (from both Robert P and James S) the ”GRAN ENEMIGO "GUALTALLARY" 2019”, which is a vineyard specific 85% Cab Franc, 15% Malbec. While the ”GRAN ENEMIGO 2018” is 50% malbec, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 15% cabernet franc, 10% merlot and 5% petit verdot. I have the 2018 Gran Enemigo at home however so glad you liked it! Thank you for the videos, much appriciated!

why hasn't the wine rating scale been fully used. For example, wine never gets 10 or 25 points. I'm a techie and it's bad practice not to use the entire scale.

That limited ability to purchase the wine unless one can obtain it from the country of origin is frustrating to say the least. The fact that the judges know the region of origin could also be a bias. Then again, I have friends that can tell you the country of origin of any wine that you challenge them with, generating about a 90% accuracy.
@NoSediment16 сағат бұрын
With more than 18k wines, it might be that 100 or more wines are presented from the same region. Even if all the judges at the table prefers a specific region, they would still taste all those wines and determine which are the best or stand out. So I would still like to trust these results. 🙏🏻

Oh... is that time again of the year, isn't it? Its always amusing how clueless these wines awards are. For Portugal the most non-sensical Gold awards this year were: 1-Giving a supermarket cheap Moscatel Roxo de Setúbal (one from Pingo Doce) 95 points. Hilarious stuff. More hilarious yet, they gave the SAME 95 points to another completely different Moscatel Roxo de Setúbal bottled for another supermarket (Continente, under the brand Contemporal). Guess the two largest supermarket chains have to be BOTH awarded a Gold Award. 2-Giving the same 95 points to a 30yo Tawny and a 40yo Tawny. 3- Giving the same 95 points to 2 completely distinct wines from the same winery (Quinta do Tedo) with one being a "old vines" style wine with 24 months of wood in french oak casks and the other being made from industrially processed new vines with 11 months in regular casks. 4- Giving 95 points (like almost all Gold Awards) to a run-of-the-mill Alentejo wine (Montes Claros, by Adega de Borba) that costs 3 euros. If this randomness doesn't make you laugh, you have no sense of humour.

It is very easy to judge wines knowing the labels. It is much harder to judge them in blind, and there is no reason why supermarket brand would be straight considered bad without giving much thought. In many cases, I know some myself, there are epic producers making and selling wine to be labelled under the supermarket brand name. But unfortunately contract forbids the both sides to disclose this information. So I am actually happy that shows that great wines can be made at lower price points, and that not only cult producers are recognised. After all - this was tasted in blind, and that says a lot. 🙏🏻

Well, I don’t necessarily think the awards themselves are bad (although at the end of the day, it’s about how much you trust someone’s very personal taste which could definitely differ from your own), for me it’s more about the availability. If you’re living in the US, like me, it’s gonna be as Agnese mentioned at the end of the video. It’s simply getting harder and harder to acquire lots of these great wines because the production is so small.
