Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume. 90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines. 80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws. 70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine. 60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors. 50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable. At the beginning of my wine career I heard of these iconic wineries like the classed growths from Bordeaux, the famous estates from Burgundy and the best producers from the other classic regions and I dreamt of one day tasting them all. Today I have tasted most of these cult wines, and that’s why I know a something many people know: They are just wines … Of course, most of them are very well made, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to charge insane prices, but not all of them are actually exciting. As I progressed in my winetasting, I started looking for other experiences than in the beginning. And today, I often get more enjoyment from tasting under the radar grape varieties from unknown regions than trying some of these Cult wines. Many Sommeliers feel the same way and but instead of really searching for undiscovered gems, they have created a different category of cult wines. Most of them are high quality just like regular Cult Wines but they are not as mainstream - they are different. What is different about them, is that they usually come from smaller estates, are made in a low intervention way and are often hard to find. They tend to be more expensive but they are not marketed as luxury products.
