Is this a first??

I just got email from First Bottle pimping the 2016 Pontet-Canet, complete with reviewers scores.

Here they are:

WE - 100

VN - 99

WA - 98+

JD - 98

Drum roll, please…

James Suckling - 97

Have you ever seen this before??

Yawn. Why do wine geeks pay dollars for points, when the points cannot be drunk?

It’s not Italian so Suckling is making up for his other inflated scores by coming in lower on the Bordeaux.

Wow, a “97” from Suckling? That must be some lousy wine. I think he gave Snoop Cali Red a 96. (Actually, ‘99 to life,’ but it got reduced.)

It’s 2020, man.

Misprint. They dropped the 1 before the 97.
