I appreciate people have their own scoring systems but do you rate this as an average/below average wine ? Your note doesn’t quite sound like it lines up with the rating scale that is meant to be used on CT: https://support.cellartracker.com/article/49-tasting-nites-and-ratings
Just clarifying if the score is skewed.
Cheers

In WSET terms the wines quilifies as good, the low score was all about my dissapointment. I was really looking forward to this wine.
Good to know that notes (that i mostly write down for myself) are read :) -

Your note is indeed useful - just a shame for you that it didn’t live up to your expectations. Just part of the ups and downs of the world of wine I guess :)
