  • Tasting Training for WSET Level 4, Units D4 + D5 - Session 8: Wine 5: The wine has a deep orange colour. The nose has medium(-) intensity and shows primary aromas of citrus (lemon) and red fruit (strawberry, raspberry and red cherry) as well as secondary characteristics from autolysis like biscuit, bread crust and bread dough.

    On the palate the wine is dry, with medium(-) acidity, medium alcohol and a medium body. The mousse is fine and perceived as creamy, the finish has medium(+) length. Flavors are of medium(-) intensity and mirror the aromas on the nose, i.e. include primary aromas of citrus (lemon) and red fruit (strawberry, raspberry and red cherry) as well as secondary characteristics from autolysis like biscuit, bread crust, bread dough and smoke.

    This is a very good quality wine since the wine has good complexity of primary and secondary characteristics, good clarity of fruit, and very good length. To be considered being of outstanding quality the wine would need higher acidity to better balance the fruit, and even greater length.

    The wine is ready to drink. It does not have enough acidity to improve with further time in bottle and is hence not suitable for further ageing in bottle.
