Maybe you know the situation. You are in a restaurant and on the wine list you will discover a big red Bordeaux at an attractive price for you, say a 1997 Château Tertre Roteboeuf!
1997? Not an outstanding vintage! You know that. Is the wine still drinkable and was it ever good? Unfortunately, the Internet connection is bad, so no way to get informed in the network. Luckily, you have the Bordeaux Red Wine Compass installed on your smart phone. He does not need an active internet connection to quickly and comprehensively answer your questions.
And indeed. The 1997 Tertre Roteboeuf has been rated very well with 93.7 points on the average of 16 reviews. He was thus at the top of the 1997 comparative ratings for both the Saint-Émilion appellation and all the appellations on the "right" bank and even for the entire Bordeaux area - ranked # 2 in all three cases. The "window for drinking" It is gradually closing, but you now have enough information and order the wine. (By the way: a good choice!)
But it does not always have to be the big red wines from the Bordeaux, and it does not necessarily require a bad internet connection. You will come to appreciate the Bordeaux Red Wine Compass on many other occasions as a reliable companion - whether you want to get a quick overview of the wines of a lesser-known appellation, put together an interesting vertical or horizontal sample, or help with decision-making when buying a wine.
In the 2018 edition, the "Bordeaux Compass" takes you to 1372 châteaux with up to 35 different vintages in the period from 1961 to 2018. Clearly presented in tabular form, average annual ratings are displayed for each Château annual. This allows a quick vintage comparison, as well as for a single château as well as for different châteaux among each other.
The average ratings are the result of the evaluation of approximately 225,000 reviews of up to 25 different sources of international wine criticism from the last 30 years. They are supplemented by further information such as drinking maturity, development of the evaluations on the timeline, minimum and maximum scores, leaderboards etc. with the aim of providing an interpretation framework for the classification of the average scores.
An equally comfortable and effective full-text search and the clear arrangement of the Châteaux after 28 appellations facilitate access to the extensive data.
For quick and reliable orientation, the Bordeaux Compass is an indispensable aid for those who want to intensively study the well-known and lesser-known red wines from the Bordeaux region.
The "Bordeaux Compass" is published annually with a new edition. For the price of a Cru bourgeois you will get access to a constantly growing collection of valuations and valuable information about the red wines of Bordeaux.
