I need some guidance from others on an issue I have often struggled with.
Is there any point-benefit-value to posting WTNs on wines that are "slightly" off or flawed? I say "slightly" since, obviously, if a wine is corked, it just gets dumped. However, there are times, such as tonight, when we have a wine that may have a few redeeming features, but also displays some obvious flaws. We drank the wine and I took notes, flaws and all, but is there any point in my posting my impressions?
This becomes a more difficult question when I am dealing with a wine I have never tried before. Are these really flaws, or is this simply a poorly made wine, perhaps from a weak vintage, that simply isn't worthy of my time? Based on a positive review I read of this wine, I suspect it is a flawed wine, but who knows?
So, I would appreciate hearing your views.
