Yes, we publish tasting notes for faulty wines even if a another bottle shows better, because this is the real-world experience that any member of the public innocently buying a bottle might have.
There are many reasons why a wine may be faulty. Wine faults may result from poor winemaking practices, improper storage conditions, or even cork variation.
The Real Review's approach is to review faulty wines even if another bottle shows better, because this is the "real-world" experience that any member of the public innocently buying a bottle might have.
Reviews of faulty wines will not have a rating, i.e. they will show as NR or "not rated".
A note to wineries: "not rated" reviews do not influence your wine and winery's standing.
