Hi Dimitri:
I agree with your main point - that's its helpful to know what other wines
were. The NY Times panel tasting does same thing;it's hard to "calibrate" (to
use a phrase that implies exactitude to an hazy concept) without knowing what
they DIDN'T like.
But as to your examples, I think you might have missed the passage:
"All the wines were from recently established labels - new wineries, new
labels of established wineries or new négociant bottlings - whose first vintage
was 2000 or later."
I think it sometimes boggles the mind the prices that some new wineries charge
for some of these wines.
As to the list, if Leaping Lizard is one of the best ones,
