"Enjoyable" (your word) means it's in the 80's. Drinkable = 70's. Cooking wine = 60's. 50's = drain cleaner!

I consider myself a pretty stingy scorer, but I try to stay true to the scoring scale: https://support.cellartracker.com/article/49-tasting-notes-and-ratings Score Grade Meaning 98-100 A+ Extraordinary 94-97 A Outstanding 90-93 A- Excellent 86-89 B+ Very Good 80-85 B Good 70-79 C Below/Average 50-69 D Avoid A '50' is equivalent to completely undrinkable.
