Welcome to Bob Campbell's Wine ReviewsI taste several thousand wine each year and record tasting notes for around 2500. This website contains ratings of wines tasted over the past two years. Please excuse any typos and the occasional abbreviation - the task of properly editing this material is Mammoth. If you do find any obvious errors I'd appreciate your feedback and promise to make corrections immediately, well, almost immediately. My scores out of 100 are not the same as Robert Parker's 100-point rating. To give you an idea of their value and relationship to medals awarded at Australasian wine shows, here's an interpretation of scores:
It is important to note that wines earning 78 points and above represent approximately the top 50% of all wines reviewed. It's worth reading the tasting note to gain an idea of style and to see why a wine turned me on (or off). Browse reviews by wine variety |
