Before the review: three observations of your own

Start with aroma, acidity and texture, and describe differences in your own words.

Before opening a reference review, make short notes on aroma, acidity and texture. There is no need for a long paragraph: note what you perceive and how strong it seems.

When comparing two wines, observe them in the same order. Different wines or varieties introduce different conditions; do not attribute a difference to region or winemaking from that alone. A grape name is a clue to investigate, not an answer.

Then compare with the Maison reference. Pick one agreement and one difference to revisit. A difference is a question for further observation, not a failure. Share your own words with a friend and discuss your impressions.

AI reference information does not replace your bottle’s condition or your own tasting. You can also learn without drinking by comparing handouts and producer information.
