Step 1--Appearance

  Tilt the glass slightly and look at the wine against a white background

  Clear or cloudy? All wines should look bright and clear

  Light/deep colour intensity?

  Color type?

         White wine: Young:yellow/lemon/green

                           Aged: dark yellow/gold/amber

         Red wine:    Young:purple/ruby red

                           Aged: garnet red/brown

         Rose wine:   Young:pink/purple

                           Aged: orange/brown

Step 2--Smell/Aroma/Nose

   Swirl the wine-this increases surface area & vapourisation of esters & aroma molecules

   Check for faults: mouldiness("corked"), maderised(oxidised),acetic(vinegar0like) or dirty/sulphurous(cabbage, rotten eggs)

   Intensity

   Character:the words used to describe aromas and flavours are called"descriptors" e.g floral,fruity,spicy,vegetal,toasty/smoky

Step 3--Taste/Palate

   Sip & swirl: Take a good sip and swirl the wine around in your mouth

   Slurp: Opening the mouth slightly and drawing air in helps you to pick up sensations

   Structure: Sweetness/ripeness vs acidity

                  Weight/body

                  Tannins--smooth/rough

                   Intensity

                   Length
