It can be argued that only by tasting blind can the taster come anywhere near to an objective assessment. This is especially important when, considering the factors that reveal quality, including complexity, balance, and length, as the taster is divorced from being influenced by preconceptions. If the purpose of the tasting is to judge relative qualities, the wines chosen for the event should be comparable from this point of view, and in the broadest sense be stylistically similar. As we have seen, there is no point in trying to judge the quality of a Beaujolais against a cru classé Bordeaux.
