Decanter annual vintage ratings

This is a broad-brush indicator of overall vintage quality, where 5 is the highest possible score. Take these ratings into account when considering wine scores (ie: a Sauternes scoring 95 in 2010 is ‘better’ than a Sauternes scoring the same in 2013). Since wine is continually evolving, our experts review these ratings annually, based on their tastings of these vintages during the past year.
