Below is a link to the WSET 2 chart for their Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine. It is a really useful tool to use when searching for the right words to describe a wine.
To properly understand the system you should sign up to the WSET course. Use of this chart is taught in both WSET 1 and 2, and it is a well thought out and comprehensive system. Of course for true wine buffs you need to make you way up to level 4 of the WSET qualification where the tasting notes become much more complex. Check out the WSET level 4 chart at this link.
For more information on the tasting system go to their webpage: http://www.wsetglobal.com or tune in tomorrow when Maggie will be giving her opinions on the Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine in the third of our podcast series ‘Thoughts on WSET 2’.
