Really brilliant take on how wines lke Pica signal a category shift rather than just novelty. The scoring system isn't broken, it's just becoming irrelevant for an entire class of experiential wines. I've noticed sommeliers now describe these wines more like cocktails, and that framing helps people get it without the baggage of traditonal ratings.

Many thanks. Glad to know you've see this in the wild as well!
