If a wine is awful 1 point is perfectly legitimate. I could understand it if they only ever wrote about wines that achieved 50 or more, which is how I would write a food guide.

Furthermore, the rush to give wines a 100 points is utterly crazy, in my opinion, and dumbs down the whole thing. In my entire life I have only drunk one wine I’d give 100 points to – 1945 Ch Mouton Rothschild and I have drunk quite a few.

Christine has got the second one, the 1973 Leoville-Poyferre. The first one is the Chateau Margaux, also 1973.

Gabe – That is certainly true.

jbh – ;-)
