What really is interesting is that these scores came from Jay Miller and were not given by Parker. He said he backed Jay's assessment though made a public statement on the Squires forum that they were not his reviews. Which begs the question, what will happen when Parker officially retires, and no one can call it "parkerization" anymore. Or will they having already made the word something that goes beyond the man?

If Spain continues to put all their eggs in the "Parker" basket when it comes to marketing and promoting theirs wines(not that all do, but many are guilty), they maybe in for a rude awakening when he's gone.

Cheers,
