84 points is nothing...

...I've probably related this here before.
I used to order 6 bottles of Downing Family Fly by Night Napa zinfandel every year.
I think it was the 2003 vintage they rated in 2005.
In the comprehensive WS zinfandel ratings it was way, way down at the bottom with 63 points. They said the tried more than one bottle.
I have never seen a wine score that low before or since then.
Yet it was one of my favorite zins that year.
Go figure.
