Are The Highest Scored Wines Hiding Residual Sugar ?

I am starting to think that most of the top scoring wines are starting to taste of a higher RS than I am used to...

Has anyone measured the RS of the top scoring wines...?... wines over 90 points...

I would bet that from the limited selections of wines that I have tasted most have a high RS to balance the high alc's...

From my experience wine drinkers talk dry and drink sweet as in RS greater than 1.5 % RS...

Any retailers ever ck the RS of a wine...???...critics do you ck the RS of a wine or do you think you can peg what you have been taught ... remember you might of been taught from wines who are in collusion on the RS disclosure...

Last is the lab always right...#ell no...!!!
