A Robert Parker 100-point wine is the Holy Grail, but there are not many each year.
Sorry to say, you will you probably not taste a 100-pointer this year; and most wine drinkers will never reach that mountaintop. It is seldom that even the most dedicated, tastes even a 95-point wine very often.
According to Madeline Puckette, at Wine Folly, wine ratings do not measure how delicious a wine is. Summarizing her, wines score based on production quality: and how the traits represent a style and region.
One must remember that most of the rated wines that we purchase are in the 85-90 point range, which stretches to very good. If a wine has no rating: that does not necessarily indicate that it is not a good value or even a tasty wine.
