Dumb site of the week..

Check out this chart:

The fact that it's an Irish site is surely coincidental.. :D

I can take the two of each 86s and 96s as a cock-up, but no mark for 94? The first 96 got 10!! Are you going to let them know about single quintas and off years or do you think it may be too much to take in?

As for treating Italy as one region, likewise Australia, it leaves an ickle question mark. Not to mention Italy having six outstanding vintages in a row.

I'll have to get my pencil with the rubber on. According to that chart I've got the vintages all messed up in my records! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm just glad I picked up all those Malvedos, Bomfim and Vargellas from 1996.

Interesting to see that 1995 didn't even happen :shock:

I'm planning on exporting all my 1986 Vargellas and Guimarens to Ireland and using the profit I make to buy the 1996 vintages (the good ones, not the rubbish ones that didn't get a score).

I should be very happy after that.
