Community Tasting Note

• SMZ wrote: 93 points

  February 8, 2024 - As are most of the RM Pinots, this is a beautiful wine….perfectly balanced with extraordinary flavors. … with many good years ahead. To the reviewer who gave it a 90 score, I can only say that you must have been storing it improperly.

  2/9/24, 10:44 AM - SMZ, scores, as you know, are subjective, vary widely among Pro reviewers and, with the rest of us, depend on mood, company, appetite, palate condition and the bottle itself. I've had the occasional bad bottle in a DFW batch, but that would be a Flaw. When we score on CT (I've had a mild argument with another user about this, who actually set me straight), we are ostensibly using the CT scoring system, in which a 90 denotes an excellent wine, and even an 89 denotes a very, very good wine indeed. Your 93 and your subject's 90 constitute the range of Excellent wines: better than Very Good but not Outstanding. On this you agree.
