At 700 bucks a bottle it'd better be damn good!

$700, that's a buzzkill. I would have gone ahead and splurged for that if it was one-tenth or even one-fifth that price, but at that price range my rent takes priority. Guess I'll make do with the 400 yen bottle of Spanish swill from the grocery store, as usual.

With all those spices and flavors you sniff from that wine, it might just give you a great allergy worse than a pollen attack.

A perfect wine? Nonsense. No such thing. There is a degree of personal taste in any food, and wine is just the same, to declare something "100" is nonsense. The best score that should be possible is perhaps a 90.

Also, this rag only scores wines from 50 to 100. No zeros, no 25's, just 50 to 100. Are there no bad wines, because I can think of several dozen off the top of my head, mostly those sold in bottlestores in Japan.

Frungy, you're wrong. It is considered perfect because none of the specialists that analyzed it has any reasonable claims against this.
