Print this page and bring it to the Wine Classic! As you taste the wines, think about these criteria in evaluating and rating them. Remember that the purpose of this event is to “taste” wine, not to “drink a lot of” wine. You will lose your ability to taste and compare the wines if you drink too much. Please feel comfortable using the dump buckets on the tables and rinsing your glasses with the water we provide. The most important criteria in tasting wine is to enjoy wines that taste good to you! Appearance: (clarity, brilliance, cloudiness) Color: (deep, bright, brownish) Aroma: (fresh, fruity, stemmy, flowery, spicy) Bouquet: (big, woody, earthy, delicate, robust) Are off odors present? Acidity: Bitterness: Astringency: Balance: Flavor: (young, nutty, varietal, harsh corky) Body: (heavy, thin, soft, round, silky, full) Aftertaste: (clean, lingering, bitter, none, hot) Unusual characteristics: Final impression: Did you like it?
