They say that perfection is not attainable. But that simply isn't true! Bid, bid, bid on this lot of twelve 100-point wines and you can bring perfection into your cellar.
Wine critics give 100-point scores to indicate that there is nothing in a wine which could be better. It signals that the wine is the perfect example of the grape or blend of grapes, of its appellation and the producer - nothing can be improved. A perfect wine is the excellence in a bottle, the ideal representation of the wines from the appellation with purity of fruit and precision of technique.
