Today’s question is from Rudy from the West Village (New York City) who asks “Is there a rigorous way to taste wine?”.

Video sum up: Is there a rigorous way to taste wine?

What does the color tells you?

Color will tell you a lot about the age of wine and to a certain degree what grapes the wine is made from.

This Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia exhibit a pretty solid cast of dark ruby red across the entire glass.

There is no real signs of age as you can not see any rounding or orange.

What does the nose tells you?

You have to exercise to develop your own repertoir of memories.

In this wine Jeremy is getting a lot of glycerin, eucalyptus.

What does the palate tells you?

You have the ability to taste four primary things: salt, sweet, sour and bitter.

Grapes just don’t taste as grapes: they taste like earth, bananas, blueberries, asphalts…

It is the combination of all those things which will give you guidance to what a wine is, where the wine is from, what the grapes are, how old it is…
