Buying Guide? Or maybe the wine
youre trying to look up isnt among
the more than 140,000 reviews
located there? (Hey, it happens.)
Check our latest vintage chart to get
an idea of what to expect. Although
our expert reviewers base these
ratings and maturity estimates on
their vast tasting experience and
interviews with local winemakers,
we cant guarantee every wine
will live up or down to the broad
generalizations the ratings on the
vintage chart representin the
world of wine, there are exceptions
to every rule. Maturity estimates
assume proper storage conditions
over the life of the wine; the rule of
caveat emptor applies particularly to
purchasers of old wines.
