Tasting Notes 2
1975-2014
Physical Description: 16.6 linear feet
Scope and Contents
The tasting notes in this collection are brief impressions recorded by Ms. Robinson for her own use. Many of the entries have
a directional arrow denoting the point in the bottle's lifecycle: an upward-pointing arrow for "will improve", a horizontal
arrow for "good", and a downward-pointing arrow for "going past".
Wines are given a number on the 20-point scale outlined at JancisRobinson.com: http://www.jancisrobinson.com/how-we-score.
(Accessed 24 April 2017). Briefly, a wine marked "20" is considered "truly exceptional", one marked "15" is "average", and
one marked "12" is "faulty or unbalanced".
Many of the abbreviations Ms. Robinson uses in her tasting notes are also listed at JancisRobinson.com. Some common abbreviations:
GD: good
LT: light
OPP: opposite
QG: quite good
SL: slight
TA: total acidity
VA: volatile acidity
VG: very good
W: with
Ms. Robinson kindly transcribed a sample page of tasting notes, which is located in Box 5, Folder 2 along with the 1991 Bollinger
