I agree that Atkin does (mostly) great work on Argentina.... but I will also admit to not getting his super high marks on the Per Se and Salentein juice. I mostly agree with his ratings, but these two stand as no no's to me. Also, some of his routing scores on wines from various winemakers are a complete puzzle to me.... Mariano Di Paola being one of them. The Durigutti brothers also have wines which i think are 97-98 pointers to me and dont get similar ratings....

Then again, there is no such thing as perfect palate calibration, so I will take this with stride.
