More than 34945 Tasting Notes Online
Currently, the website’s database contains almost 30,195 tasting notes. The tasting texts are precisely written with a healthy mix of technicality, poetry, and humor. Each wine receives a rating which exclusively reflects Yves Beck’s opinion. He likes to repeat that he doesn’t have the truth, but he assumes that it can still be found in wine. Everyone can find their own truth there!
