Reading The Flavor Chart

Vintage indicates how old the wine was when the flavor first appeared in the wine.

• If a wine contains flavors that have not developed at the wine's current vintage age, those flavors will not be detectable when the wine is tasted.
• If no flavors are detectable, a wine will report as Thin and not give tasting checks for quality.
• As the wine ages and flavors come in, the wine will stop being Thin.

Note: It is the age on the Secondary Taste that brings the flavor in, not the Taste Category or Primary Taste.

For example:

• Bell Pepper (0) and Green Beans (1) are both Vegetable/Freshness flavors.
• If a wine only has the Green Beans flavor in it, it will report as Thin until it is 1 vintage old (not giving the Vegetable or Freshness flavors).
• Bell Pepper, on the other hand, will show Vegetable, Freshness, and Bell Pepper flavors on different glasses starting at 0 vintages old.
