Not to defend Parker, but that genie is long out of the bottle. I remember when he started, I appreciated his insight and a palate that could differentiate far better than other critics of the day. Now, like I've said, I "read through" his very consistent reviews to home in on what I like. And he has actually said that he does not "get" Burgundy, and he actually hired help to try to cover Burgundy, because so many people want him to do it! Believe it or not, I can remember back to when some of Lalou's winemakers would not "go along", although there are too few of the old guard now, anywhere in the wine world, it is true, down to effing Riojas, fer crissake! The first "jammy" Brunello I try, I am launching a counter attack!
As with so many things, eff the "Public"; by and large, they get what they deserve. As PT Barnum said...
