Summary:
Have you ever struggled to find words to describe wine aromatics? Being able to associate a name with an aromatic sensation is not innate. It's a learned skill, but so challenging to acquire.
This webinar reviews the main reasons for this challenge: your olfactive sensitivity, cultural upbringing, and a lack of appropriate practice.
You will learn the basics of wine aroma description and how to include simple practices in your day-to-day so that you can improve your wine-tasting notes and better communicate your wine evaluation to others.
