Olivier's Tasting - The Vinomatch way

My good friend Olivier has a new company that will undoubtedly revolutionize the way people evaluate and purchase wine. The company is called Vinomatch. He stopped by today to do a tasting and used the same criteria that you would use with Vinomatch to evaluate the wine. It's important to remember that although the scales are 1-10 the higher numbers don't imply "better" they are a matter of preference.

Here's the results:

Sangiovese 1:

Aromatic Intensity: 5/10
Sweetness: 4/10
Crispness / Acidity: 7/10
Smoothness: 1.5/10
Body: 5/10
Length: 3/10

Barbera 1:

Aromatic Intensity: 4.5/10
Sweetness: 5.5/10
Crispness / Acidity: 5.5/10
Smoothness: 3/10
Body: 4.5/10
Length: 3.5/10

Barbera 2:

Aromatic Intensity: 4/10
Sweetness: 4/10
Crispness / Acidity: 4.5/10

Syrah / Sangiovese: 

Aromatic Intensity: 3.5/10
Sweetness: 2.5/10
Crispness / Acidity: 4.5/10
Smoothness: 4.5/10
Body: 5/10

  1. Ouah! That was super fast. You're like working in real time Jay. I can't wait to taste your wines again when I'm back from Europe to see how they have evolved and how they compare in tasting profiles form the one you just posted. I'd be quite interested to see how other people would grade your wines as well following the same tasting profile criteria (such as you, Michael, etc). Thanks again for the tasting today. That was great and very informative. Keep up the great work.
