“Probably the best Chablis I've had. Possibly one of the best whites I've ever had. A few years in storage and it will have lost the taste from the cask. Can't wait.”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
