Wine Criticism

Wine criticism involves evaluating and describing wines based on qualities like aroma, taste, flavor complexity, appearance, and overall balance. Critics use their senses and knowledge to assess how well a wine expresses its grape variety and region, considering factors like aroma, palate feel, acidity, tannins, and finish. Their insights help consumers understand a wine's character, quality, and potential food pairings. While subjective to some extent, professional criticism provides an informed, experienced perspective, guiding appreciation and selection without oversimplification.
