Wine review: Almost Famous Wine Company, Wine Without Borders Primitivo 2022 Livermore Valley
Our scores
Below is a rough guide to what our numbers mean. Although we are not very comfortable with scoring wines because it is so difficult to encapsulate a wine's qualities in a single score, we do realise how useful scores are for those reading and buying (and selling) in a hurry.
- 20 – Truly exceptional
- 19 – A humdinger
- 18 – A cut above superior
- 17 – Superior
- 16 – Distinguished
- 15 – Average, a perfectly nice drink with no faults but not much excitement
- 14 – Deadly dull
- 13 – Borderline faulty or unbalanced
- 12 – Faulty or unbalanced
We occasionally give a '+' or even '++' to suggest that we think (but are not 100% sure) that the wine will improve, and if a score comes with a minus attached, it means that it has a drawback, usually described in the tasting note.
Aged for 17 months in oak. 177 cases made.
Smells of berry...
