Robert Parker and The Wine Advocate has been at the forefront of the wine industry for over 40 years.
Robert Parker created his original rating system with the first issue of The Wine Advocate, and it remains unchanged to this day. It employs a 100-point quality scale (in which wines are given a rating of 50 to 100 points), as Robert Parker believes that the various 20-point rating systems do not provide enough flexibility and often result in compressed and inflated wine ratings. Since its inception, Robert Parker’s 100-point scale has become the wine industry’s standard.
Over the past decade at Hard to Find Wines we have been fortunate enough to have picked up small allocations of some of The Wine Advocate's 100 point perfect scoring wines, of which there have been only just over 650 examples in the past 20 years!
