Masterclass - Assessing Wine with Marc Malouf

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we take a Masterclass from Marc Malouf on assessing the qualities of wine. He takes us through a live review on assessing the wine from its sight, smell, and taste. We try to see how Marc compares 2 x wines as a blind tasting. Both wines are from the same producer, same vintage, same grape variety, however one is almost double the price of the other. Marc has such a refined palate and was able to pick up such minute smells and flavours and surprisingly could guess which wines we had chosen. Thanks Marc for taking us through your assessment process in this masterclass.Check out Marc Malouf’s wine reviews at https://www.instagram.com/wineworthwritingabout/Also browse the great selection of top quality wines Marc Malouf sells at https://iheartwine.com.auSubscribe to @‌TheWinedUp and comment below on any tips you have in assessing wine.Chapters:0:00 Introduction1:43 Assessing wine from the sight2:22 Assessing wine based on smell2:50 How do you breakdown your tasting notes?3:55 Wine #1 - Scent4:14 How long does it take when assessing a wine?4:59 How can a wine judge analyse wine in a short period of time?5:42 Wine #2 - Scent6:18 At what point do you start tasting?7:06 Wine #1 - Scent8:46 How do you work out the term you can smell?8:43 Wine #1 - Tasting - Look for purity, power, intensity, length, fruit10:27 How can you tell if a wine needs more time to breath?9:57 Wine #2 - Tasting10:49 Marc guesses the wine12:13 What is everyones preference12:47 Does the nose connect with the palate?13:57 The reveal Wine #114:22 The reveal Wine #214:54 Lessons from the tasting15:42 Its not the power of suggestion16:51 The Wined Up Conclusion#wine #winetasting #blindtasting #wineassessment #marcmalouf #wineworthwritingabout #iheartwine #thewinedup #thewineduppodcast #podcastThe content in this episode are our own personal experiences and opinions.
