Tasting

Tasting technique:

Colour: The evaluation of the age and concentration of wine

Bouquet: The most important aspect, the evaluation of the complexity, elegance, advantages and disadvantages of wine

Taste: The evaluation of balance, matureness, the level of acidity and sugar. The finish.

General evaluation: If the wine is tasty, what it tastes with, how it tastes, if the bouquet corresponds with the taste, if it is worth its price, if it has characteristic features?
