Describing and Evaluating Wine

Winetasting, like any other specialised field, has its own terminology which enables tasters to communicate impressions and judgements in a meaningful way. This section deals with the vocabulary of describing and evaluating. The complete evaluation of a wine involves the description of appearance, aroma, taste, tactile sensations, finish and balance and harmony. It is also important to note possible defects.
