One, Varietal Character (VarietalCharacter) Whether a wine has typical varietal characteristics is very important in judging its quality. For example, if a Pinot Noir wine has a strong oak aroma and does not reflect the typical red fruit aroma of this variety of Pinot Noir, it means that its varietal character is not very obvious and is not a good wine. Balance means that the various elements of a wine - fruit, alcohol, tannin, acid, sugar, body and aftertaste - reach a complementary and mutually beneficial, mutually reinforcing relationship, with no element appearing too abrupt. For example, if a wine leaves you with a severe burning sensation in your throat, it's too alcoholic and doesn't have enough fruit, flavor and body to harmonize with it. If a wine has a strong oak flavor, it is not well balanced and does not have enough fruit and oak. Intensity (Intensity) Intensity is for aroma and flavor. The intensity of wine aroma and flavor is mainly determined by the variety itself and the brewing method. So what kind of wine has the best intensity? If you can hold a glass of wine in front of your chest and still smell its aroma, it has an excellent aromatic intensity. If a wine delivers a wide range of flavors to the mouth, it has good flavor intensity.
