I have reviewed the 2017 Bekkers Grenache a couple of times before. Here is a little preamble. On those occasions, I rated the wine 96 and 93 points, today it will be 95. Does this mean poor assessments on my part? Studies have been done that even the most highly regarded wine critics in the world score the same wine differently at different times. How can this be? There are a number of factors. Over time, a wine will change. While it is possible to incorporate ageability in the score, it is quite impossible to predict how a wine will age, as the chemical composition is unknown. Other factors which will have an impact are the temperature of the wine, how long it has been open, any food involved, and the general mind set of the reviewer. So, here the assessment of yesterday.
