Wine tasting notes
Structured tasting notes that teach rigour, save time, and keep everything connected.
For learners, the form guides the tasting in the right order and builds disciplined habits without doing the thinking for you. For experienced tasters, it makes notes faster to capture, easier to keep, and always at hand instead of scattered across paper. Everything stays linked together too: tasting notes, wine log, cellar records, and event results all sit in one connected system.
One tasting form
Use the same form at whatever depth you need.
Start broad with clusters and the core structure fields, or expand into individual flavours and BLIC when you want a fuller note. The form does not change; the depth of use does.
Quick note
This is optional and you will often skip it. Use it only for anything the form does not already capture, or something personal you want to keep with the note: where you tried the wine, who you were with, the occasion, or a detail you want to remember later.
Wine type and appearance
Wine type, colour, and colour depth sit together so the note starts with a clear visual context.
Aroma / Nose
The same aroma grid supports broad cluster-level notes and more precise individual flavour notes. Users can stay broad, drill down, or mix cluster selections with individual flavours from other clusters.
Structure
Work through sweetness, acidity, tannin, alcohol, body, flavour intensity, and finish in sequence. This is the backbone of the Level 2 note and the part that makes comparison across wines disciplined rather than impressionistic.
BLIC
BLIC means Balance, Length, Intensity, and Complexity. It is an optional quality check, not something you have to complete every time. Use it when you want to assess quality; leave it collapsed when you only want a descriptive tasting note.
