Excuse me if this is old news here, but I haven't seen a thread on the argument between Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson over the 2003 Chateau Pavie.

I've written a weblog post about this here, with links to various newspaper and magazine articles, and quotes from several other wine writers as well as those two.

The subject: 2003 Chateau Pavie, from the Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in St.-Emilion, Bordeaux.

Robert Parker's evaluation: "an off-the-chart effort", 95 to 100 points on a 100-point scale.

Jancis Robinson's evalution: "completely unappetizing", "ridiculous", 12 points on a scale of 20.
