11/9/18, 9:39 PM - Good question on black acidity...this is how I describe that fresh sharp bite with a hint of juiciness that hits the back of the roof of my mouth - black because it just feels dark, absorbing light. Acidity because it is brighter than tannins. So an amalgam of brightness and darkness
On the scoring... other times I probably wouldn't argue with 93 or 94; on the night, for me that's how it was -

12/26/20, 12:31 PM - This guy Grinner seems to be some sort of Wine-Troll (which I didn’t know was a thing). He routinely seems to insult people that make honest and reasonable judgements. For what reason ? I can only think to draw attention to himself? Would advise not replying and/or telling him to FO (in old currency). I don’t think this is reasonable or pleasant behaviour...
