In this site including the tasting notes for various wines, we have endeavoured to use lay man’s language and reduce technical jargon as much as possible.
We believe the appreciation of wines should be comprehensible to the ordinary person "on the street".
As taste & olfactory terms are described through experience, memory and association, we believe that some wines exhibiting aromas, bouquets and tastes that have hints of exotic tropical flora, fruits, vegetables and food may not have been identified nor documented by certain wine experts who have not had the opportunity to experience them. Hence where appropriate, these specific aromas and tastes will be mentioned.

Obviously not all the thousands of wines tasted in the past thirty or so years can be included in this site; so for educational and practical purposes, only selected wines are profiled.
Although good quality wines exhibit certain fundamental elements, wine experts may differ in terms of their assessment and appreciation. Hence the wines assessed herein may not necessarily concur with opinions of other wine experts no matter how popular they may be. We will try to be as objective and scientific as possible in our assessments.
