where his tasting notes are dissected and made surgical.

really, you can say a lot with a little. and this means also tasting an ounce. The leading authority in wine did this, sometimes 400 times at a single sitting.

there’s nothing wrong with a much more modest approach.

Just have the time to read this now...
Actually, without really reading the first part of the blog, at first impression I was more attracted by the second wine.

The blogger got it wrong because he misinterpreted descriptors that in his book must be negative (embers; but how many times people here used the descriptor manure, and that is not necessarily intended to be bad) and similarities to other good wines (you can find some Orval character in the aroma of a beer, and yet other elements of it make it much worse than real Orval).

He also could not feel that the second analysis has more passion.



In other words, don’t criticize others’ reviews if you don’t have the reading skills
