Thankfully wine tasting is a subjective activity. You "get" blackberries in your taste and your friend "gets" cherries. Guess what, you're both right! Isn't that a relief?!
Many wineries these days advertise the various "scores" they get for their wines. "95 points Pinot Noir." I would warn against putting too much stock in these numbers. First of all, these numbers are meant as advertising in that they want you to buy the wines with great numbers. The problem is that these reviews are one person's take on that wine and not meant as gospel. They have their opition and you have yours...you're both right.
I'd rather not know if a wine is a "95" and let me discover its worth to my own taste buds without the "suggestion" that this has to be a great wine. Always start with an even playing field.
