I am proud that I was able to call a Syrah based on your description. But that’s also a testament to your ability to describe a wine. I love watching your content. Thank you for what you do.
During the pandemic I would have a malbec that I loved ( I think it might of been from the Rothchild estate), it had a aroma that was reminiscent of ladbanum resin when burnt; an aroma I find appealing and uplifting!
A thorough and fun refresher. The Nebbiolo and Syrah comparative graphs you 🖌️ are an interesting way to think about the wine. Gotta love a MP graphic !🍷
Great Video! I never tried the tongue on the roof of the mouth technique for tannin and the retronasal olfaction was very interesting. I tried some of these steps with a Brunello while watching. Fun times!
Great video, but I'm confused why you've labeled Carignan to have very little tannins? In my experience with 100% carignan wines (often from older vines), and from what I've read, they tend to have moderate to high tannins.
I certainly agree with you on a taste spectrum call. If you want to know where I got my source: This was based on a study I found in researching amount of total dissolved solids in wine to indicate tannin content.
@@winefolly The grid is great. Between this and all the info in your book, all the knowledge is there, but what I was really thinking about is a flowchart in how to differentiate wines that might be similar in one characteristic or the other. So, walking through the mental steps you're doing in order to decide grape it is (like you do in some of your videos). For example, if I have a medium purple wine I'm thinking Malbec or Syrah based on your poster/book (ignoring Teroldego for the moment), so maybe next I'm thinking that Syrah will be the one with higher acid and tannin, and maybe pepper. Anyway, I love all your content! Happiest of Holidays!
omg. so sorry. Hopefully not anosmiac too though? Your nose will find the way. Even if you are, I know a master sommelier who is nearly anosmiac and passed the blind tasting with clues from the palate alone. We are amazing creatures.
MP, you are on fire lately, by that I mean your videos. This is excellent. As Julius Caesar famously said: “Vidi, Disceri, Bibi,” (I watched, I learned, I drank) or something like that? Almost as great as this one you made a few years ago? “Red-velvet cake…” 😊 th-cam.com/video/swPhcBsgYig/w-d-xo.html

That is so awesome! Thanks for watching.

Such an incredible educator. 😊
That breathing technique, wow, learn something new. At wine tasting I always felt I was missing something by spitting. Thanks
If the wine is on sale, Im buying it. If it tastes good, it's a bonus. If it tastes bad, chug it for the buzz. Same with craft beers.
Adorable, interesting and useful ❤
Thank you! Cheers!

So glad! And a great wine to try!
Explained very well -- and fun!
Thank you so much
You should update more video about wine tasting.
3:43 Nah, nah. This is the only one you got wrong. You see, my girlfriend tells me that real pros swallow...

@@winefolly That's really interesting to know, thank you! It's true that our perceptions don't always line up with the chemical makeup.
As an Italian, it’s morally unacceptable to not swallow the wine 😉
Haha! Well, I can see why, Italian wine is some of the best. :)
That was great, thanks! You did this a bit verbally, but do you have a blind tasting flowchart?
Yes I do! winefolly.com/deep-dive/blind-wine-tasting-grid-pdf/

Thanks, but I learned my wine tasting skills from Dr. Steve Brule.
For your health!
Sweet berry wine will always win my heart.

A red wine is just red, right? Absolutely...
To people who are colorblind like me. :(

@@winefolly Don't be sorry, just cracking a self-deprecating joke at my own expense. You did a great review. Great video
wieso ist der kack auf englisch, aber der Titel auf deutsch? neue Form des Clickbaiting?
I don't know. The title could have been translated by TH-cam to serve non-English speaking audiences. Sorry for the inconvenience.
