Why 2011 would you ask? Well simply because the list of 2012 is not out
yet and to provide you with a pre guide and taste of what might come we at
Western Taste would like to present what Wine Spectator presented 2011 as top
10 wines.
Wine Spectator
have analyzed over 16 000 new releases were 5400 wines that are over
90 points or higher. Wine Specator narrowed
the list down based on four criteria: quality (represented by score); value
(reflected by release price); availability (measured by cases made or
imported); and what we call the “X-factor”–the excitement generated by a
rising-star producer, a benchmark wine or a significant milestone for a wine
region. But no equation determines the final selections: These choices reflect
Wine Spectators editors’ judgment and passion about the wines that were tasted.
The sad
story on these amazing wines is that only 3 are listed in Systembolaget in Sweden Sweden
In the 100
list 12 countries are represented however Western Taste has only chosen to
present the top 10 list for reader’s convenience.
