Hard to say how I'd like the wine, but I am curious to try it based on the review. Wine Advocate is fairly well respected, although I understand many don't care for Parker or his style.

If it was the winemaker who wrote this, I'd have passed on it. But the fact that Parker felt compelled to interrupt his Napa review to say this about a Gallo product made it interesting to me.

As for specific adjectives, I've often wondered about how reviewers make distinctions between similar wines using just words. And even more curious how they come up with certain tastes, some of which don't sound very appealing, like "pencil lead" and "leather"
