Yes, too true about the proliferation of over-stuffed wine-bots.  At least Parker is pretty consistent in terms of his descriptors and his personal preferences, and if he is directly on the take, I have yet to see/hear any such evidence.  This has actually enabled me to "read through" his evaluations and get a fair idea of what he's talking about, along with how this relates to my own - personal -  preferences. Harking back, I was also +/-  on these terms with the late Gordon Holt, in the early going. Would that it were so simple/easy with the audio reviewers today.  This lot seems only bound to sell elaborate kit at inflated prices, and little else.  At least Parker never directly conflates price > quality!  Re: Allen Meadows, you might want to give him a read, since he does what Parker cannot for our beloved PN.

Best regards,
Paul S
