ワイン売り場でよく見かけるＰＰ（パーカーポイント）のデータ集です。前回の第６版から６年経過し、大幅に改訂されて２００８年の１０月に出版されました。生産者ごとに、現在市場で手に入る最近５〜８年程度のヴィンテージのテイスティングに基づく点数を掲載している点は前回までと同じですが、今回は、一本ごとのテイスティングコメントはばっさり削除され、その代わり、掲載データが大幅に増えています。副題には８，０００本の評価と書かれていますが、おそらく、６版の１０倍近いワインが掲載されていると思われます。また、一本ごとの価格帯は省略され、生産者ごとに価格帯が表示されるようになりました。その代わり、飲み頃のデータは、一覧表中に記載され、分かりやすくなっています。
今回の改訂の趣旨として、より多くの地域のワインをとりあげたかったとパーカーが書いているように、これまで、個別のデータが載っていなかったドイツ、ロワール、アルゼンチン、チリなどのワインの個別の評価が掲載されています。
６版までは、ワインのテイスティング結果についてのパーカーの独特の言い回しで、ワインの微妙なニュアンスを読み取るのが楽しかったのですが、一方、掲載データの多い生産者では目的のワインのコメントを探すのに苦労した本でした。今回の改訂では、文章の量が減り、本というよりＰＰと飲み頃のクイックリファレンスのデータベースという色彩が強くなっています。その意味では、英語が苦手な人でも使いやすくなっているといえると思います。
ワインごとの価格情報がなくなったのは残念ですが、もともと米国と日本では異なるし、時間とともに変わるものなので、やはり、ワインを買うときによいヴィンテージなのかどうか、そして買ったワインをいつごろ飲むべきかについてのデータが集約されている本書は、ワインを買い、熟成させて飲む同好者にとって、とりあえず今手元においておくべき一冊といえるのではないでしょうか。

All Numbers No Notes
2008/10/24
形式:ペーパーバック
Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide, Robert M. Parker, Jr., Simon and Schuster, New York, 2008, 1513 pages, softback, $35. Four pounds of numbers. For $35 you get pages and pages filled with no specific wine descriptions, just lists and lists of the numerical score on the one hundred point scale. I don't get it. For years whenever the 100 point scale has been debated Parker has always responded that a reader should never just rely on the number he gives to a wine. The reader must also consider the written evaluation of the wine. Indeed he makes this same point in the introduction to this work. "However, it is also vital to consider the description of the wine's style, personality and potential." If it is "vital" why have all of these descriptions been stripped out this book? All that the author provides is the score and a window of drinkability. Other than some general comments about the winery as a whole, there are no specific comments about any of the wines. So a wine gets a score of 94 but will it go well with duck confit? No guidance is given at all. The reader deserves far more.
Given that Parker is the most influential wine critic in the world, I would have thought that before making derogatory remarks about a wine producer, he would have done extensive detailed research about the wines. Not so. Parker takes a swipe at the wines of Kosta-Browne stating that, "I find them somewhat superficial and overripe." (Pages 1194) Here is a winery that made its reputation on small lots of Sonoma County Pinot Noir. But Parker only lists scores on two pinots, both from the Central Coast, not Sonoma County. I thought that perhaps other Kosta Browne wines sourced from Sonoma grapes might have been tasted but dropped from this work because of space limitations. But when one goes to the Parker's web site, the only tasting notes are on these same two Central Coast pinots. Wouldn't you think a powerful critic is under an ethical obligation to taste all, or most, of the wines from a producer (especially their best wines) before publicly disparaging them?
To be fair, I really liked the section of the book that presents an annotated bibliography of wine books. Thankfully the books get more than just a naked numerical rating.
Parker afficionados will probably adore this work from their guru. I find it frustrating and missing key components. Not Recommended.

Mostly just a summary of existing published info
2009/6/29
形式:ペーパーバック
Mostly this book is just a synopsis of the latest point ratings and a summary on the wine producers. As noted by others, there aren't actually reviews for each wine, so you're left to buy a wine based simply on the "Parker Points" awarded. The introductory portion is merely a repeat of past books.
To me the best parts were the region summaries of the Loire, Germany, and Burgundy (which I believe were all produced by David Schildknecht). I've heard fans of Italian wines also laude Galloni's summary of Italy.
It's also worth noting that although Parker has indicated that most (60%) wines are purchased and "tasted blind when possible", recent conversations on his online forum indicate that he apparently may not follow these policies any longer, leading me to question what really is his stance on blind tasting and critical independence.

disappointment...
2009/9/13
形式:ペーパーバック
Just numbers and numbers and numbers.
I found the 6th edition to be a far better work. It is a fun and interesting read. He had stories to tell then, henri bonneau, the first growths, jayer...
The 7th edition turns out to narrow wines to a compendium of numerical values that I thought would be the exact antithesis of what he preached. Did he get lazy or just lost the passion? I am disappointed and saddened by this turn.
