Relative notions of "good", "bad", and "ugly", I suppose.
A wine which is:

a- neutral tasting
b- like water
c- deeply coloured
d- "not 'watery' " in texture (i.e. tannins like a tarmac, I guess)

we may dispute about whether it is "not good" or "bad", as long and
fiercely as we want, but:
I think I will hardly find myself fighting in order to get the last
glass of it.
