Hello, wine enthusiast. Here are my tasting notes for different red wines. I don't consider myself near to the professional wine connoisseurs, this is just a hobby for me. When I started this I used a very simple method to rate wines but in 2010 I decided to change to the well known 100-point scale. I keep the old ratings (0-5 scale) as they are but mainly the idea is that 5 equals 100, 4 equals 90 and so on. This way they are someway comparable with new ratings. Many ask my favourite wine country. If I have to say one, it's Chile. But others are great too. Don't take the ratings too seriously. Feel free to think differently. Just take a glass of wine and enjoy. 2 February 2012:   wines rated |
RATING WINES:Aroma (1-10 points) Appearance (1-5 points) Flavour and finish (1-10 points) Mouth feel (1-5 points): -body (full/medium/light) Overall score (1-20 points) Then add 50 to get the final points. Wine aroma/flavour/texture chart: aggressive, aromatic, balanced, burnt, caramel, chemical, chewy, chocolate, coffee, complex, crispy, earthy, easy, elegant, firm, flat, floral, fruity, gentle, hard, hollow, juicy, licorice, lively, mellow, mild, neutral, nutty, oaky, olives, petillant, pleasant, pricked, pungent, resinous, rich, robust, sherry, simple, smoky, soft, sour, soy sauce, spicy, strong, sugary, supple, sweet, tannic, thin, tobacco, unpleasant, warm, vegetative, vigorous, woody, yeasty + whatever you find from the wine. Explanations to my ratings: 55 - 64 = Very basic, poor, unattractive or otherwise not suitable wine for my taste 65 - 74 = Nice but doesn't give any kind of shivers 75 - 79 = Quite good but basically still a mediocre wine 80 - 84 = Good wine 85 - 89 = Very good wine 90 - 94 = Excellent wine 95 - 100 = Just brilliant, top quality purchase. These will be introduced with a poem or few lines from a classic book. • Wine tasting form (print and enjoy)  Some wine links: • Viinilehti • ViiniTV • Viiniweb • Wine.com • Wine Mag • Wine Spectator |
