Very drinkable and thank goodness it was only $50. 95 points from two different sources makes me wonder who was drinking the Kool-Aid... I doubt in a blind tasting this would have scored that well. I'm always interested in the process and politics in scoring wines and which wineries are favored over others, or whether because of the region or the age of the vines those judging are all agog with misplaced nuance and enthusiasm. Did it have riveting acidity? Not that much. A long finish? yes, but compared to say a wine with 92 points? Having just spent two weeks in Bordeaux, I think there are certainly plenty of wines the same caliber without the 95 point rating.
