Best Bordeaux Wines Awarded 100 Parker Points
The Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate has the highest authority in the wine world.
Robert Parker created the original rating system which employs a 100-point quality scale (in which wines are given a rating of 50 to 100 points).
A 100-points wine is the industry standard.
"An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume."
