Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume. 90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines. 80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws. 70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine. 60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors. 50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable. 72 years ago, 21 candidates sat the first Master of Wine Exam. Only 6 of them passed and became the first Masters of Wine. Since then, many have attempted to become Masters of Wine, but few succeed. How few? Well, there are only 421 MWs worldwide, which means that more people have been to space, won an Olympic gold medal, or are billionaires. The exam is overall challenging, but the most difficult part of it is the blind tasting. In the Blind Tasting, candidates have to describe and identify 36 wines over three days. Without knowing anything about the exam wines, they have to identify the grape varieties, origins, winemaking techniques, vintage, sugar, alcohol, and quality levels … What might sound impossible to most people is possible … but it requires a lot of practice and discipline. I passed my tasting exam 12 years ago. Although I still blind taste regularly, I am probably not at the same level as I was back then. However, today I want to teach you how to identify wines blind by revealing my secrets to show you how to taste like a Master…
