a comment from the Winehog

While I try to be consistent in the ratings – the list reveals some surprises and question marks. Perhaps I have been too generous when I tasted and rated these wines – perhaps – but when I taste a wine that shows very well, I do need to reward the wine with a suitable rating reflecting this.
