Well written, clear, extremely informative and escapes all the affectation that you often see when people start to talk or write about wine. Maybe too detailed for most people looking for an introductory book on wine tasting, but if you are curious about the methodology and science behind, this is a great resource.
An amazing work which should be praised to the heavens by those advanced wine tasters who want to better understand what it is they’re seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling. And why. Not a book for beginners, this is a carefully structured work of high calibre, right up there with the other landmark winetasting works by Amerine, Baldy, Broadbent, Noble and Peynaud. Every serious wine library should have a copy.
