ABOUT THIS TOOL
What it does & why it matters
A structured score keeps tasting honest. Judge appearance, nose, palate, finish, and balance on a sliding scale, and the tool weighs your impressions into a single number with a clear quality verdict. The weights are borrowed from professional tasting practice — the nose and palate dominate, appearance matters least — so the score rewards what is actually in the glass.

FAQ
Common questions
The answers collectors

Yes, if every dimension reaches 10. In practice top scores are rare — and that rarity is exactly what makes them meaningful.
