Most of the time, I'm not interested in comparing them against one
another, as I'm merely an amateur and don't publish my results (except
here ;-)). When I do a comparative tasting, I taste in flights and (if
possible) will return to the best wines for a second comparison against
one another. I don't tend to assign scores these days, but even without
that you can rank order wines in terms of preference.
