My impression of this wine did not justify a rating of 90p or more. I usually do not see other people's ratings as guidelines and I didn't have the chance to smell or taste the wine again while adding my note to CT. The wine didn't wow me and I believe "closed up" is a clear enough explanation. I may, however, be bold to insinuate that some others rated the wine according to what they expected from reading about it.
All the best
