Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.<br \/>\n90 &#8211; 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.<br \/>\n80 &#8211; 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.<br \/>\n70 &#8211; 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.<br \/>\n60 &#8211; 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and\/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.<br \/>\n50 &#8211; 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>The wine world is constantly changing and while some of the cult wines, like Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Petrus, and Egon M\u00fcllers Scharzhofberger have a long history, others are more recent additions to the Olympus of the wine world.<br \/>\nThis \u201cyounger\u201d breed of cult wines is often made by low-intervention vintners that developed as a countermovement to \u201cindustrial\u201d agriculture in the second half of the 20th century.<br \/>\nYou must know that some of the old Cult Wineries produce large quantities \u2013 Lafite famously produces more than 400.000 bottles annually.<br \/>\nMost of the new cult wines, however, are hard to get as they are being produced in small quantities.<br \/>\nThe wines that make your Sommelier salivate also often do not come from famous regions and are made using under-the-radar grape varieties.<br \/>\nSo today, I will taste some of the world&#8217;s craziest, cultist, and controversial wines and let you know whether they are worth the hype\u2014or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out Cellar Class to take your wine knowledge to the next level: https:\/\/www.cellarclass.com\/ Learn from a Master of Wine [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/cooking.catherineliew.com\/?p=1210\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sommeliers&#039; Favorite Cult Wines \u2013 Do They Live Up to the Hype?
