“Well, the most important thing in
judging wine is the philosophy that a wine has to provide pleasure and be
interesting. All the greatest wines have magnetic qualities that pull you
back to them to see what additional nuances might be apparent in the
aromatics, what additional flavors might appear in the taste, and like
great cuisine, great wines have an exceptional intensity of flavor but
are never heavy or ponderous. This is the glory of French wine that is
very difficult to imitate elsewhere in the world, although many try and a
few succeed. For the most part, I judge wines very young on their
abilities to hold my interest, to reflect their place of origin, and to
be impeccably well balanced with total equilibrium between all of their
component parts such as fruit concentration, alcohol, acidity, and if
they are red wines, tannin. Obviously, if they are aged in barrel the oak
has to be restrained and measured and not dominate the character of the
wine. Like music and art, everything is a question of balance,
equilibrium, and holding the taster's interest. Just like a grand musical
composition or a great work of art, a profound wine continually amazes,
pleases, and satiates all senses of the taster.” Robert M.
Parker, Jr.
