Your words, not an answer sheet
A tasting notebook is a personal record, not an examination. Familiar aromas and everyday comparisons are useful. Your description does not have to match someone else’s.
Start with the expression, the date and how you approached it. A little context makes the note more meaningful when you return to it.
Use official notes as a reference, leaving space for your own language.
Three small spaces
- Nose: one or two first impressions.
- Palate: a texture or character that stays with you.
- Finish: the final impression and a question for next time.
You do not have to fill every space. “Familiar, but I cannot name it” is still an honest and useful observation.
Record the exact expression so that later comparisons remain meaningful.
Keep the context
When comparing notes, check whether the expression, glass and additions of water or ice were the same. Treat a single impression as your experience rather than a universal verdict.
Read the official introduction to the two expressions, then see where your own language meets or differs from it.
