Calculate your score:
You love wine, but wine doesn’t love you back. No matter how hard you sniff corks for signs of a fault, all you can smell is cork. You look but see nothing, sniff but smell nothing, slurp but taste nothing… Is rosé a blend of red and white? There’s a long way to go, but with practice and plenty of tasting, you’ll get there!
You certainly have the desire to become a true master of wine tasting; what you lack is practice. You dream of becoming a sommelier, there’s no doubt about it, but your senses aren’t quite sharp enough yet and all wines taste much the same. But don’t despair: if Bach could become a musical virtuoso despite being deaf, there’s hope that one day you’ll be able to tell a Chardonnay from a Champagne. Train your nose and your taste buds — that’s the only way!
Perhaps you spend too much time deciphering the label and not enough analysing what’s in your INAO tasting glass. But you have a taste for adventure: curious about everything, you explore the jungle of vines with a machete in hand and no fear. You make mistakes, get lost and fall down, but you always get back up. You have the enthusiasm of a budding wine expert: don’t despair, you’re on the right wine trail!
You’re an initiate of the order of fine bottles. You may not yet be a grand master of wine tasting, but you have the discipline and curiosity to get there. Perhaps you can’t yet detect subtle notes of yuzu at the end of the second sniff of an obscure little wine with pronounced minerality, but you know exactly what you like and what you don’t — and that’s already a lot!
Your tasting is so precise it’s almost witchcraft. You’d think you fell into an oak barrel as a child! You’re simply a master of the art of wine tasting, well versed in the most advanced techniques, with senses as sharp as a professional sommelier’s. You’ve got plenty of experience under your belt, to say the least… You’re not far from absolute greatness!
You’re the Mozart of wine tasting, the Picasso of the cellars of Pomerol, the Einstein of pairing aged Savagnin with 36-month-matured Comté and a few grains of salt! One glance is all you need to tell Mourvèdre from Tannat. Your senses have reached godlike heights: you can pick out the most unexpected aromas in any bottle in seconds. You’ve crossed over to the other side: you no longer taste wine, you write its destiny.
The connoisseur’s corner
A caudalie is the unit of time wine experts use to measure how long a wine’s flavours linger on the palate.
For example, if you can still detect the wine’s aromas 6 seconds after swallowing it (or spitting it out), the wine scores 6 caudalies. Can you count the caudalies of the wines in this box?
