220 Chapter 10 Flavor Intensity and Flavor Persistency
8.Rank the four wine samples from lowest to highest flavor intensity.
Weakest flavor intensity!1. 2.
- !Strongest flavor intensity
9.Rank the four wine samples from lowest to highest flavor persistency.
Shortest flavor persistency!1. 2.
- !Strongest flavor intensity
- !Longest flavor persistency
10.Write any other comments, thoughts, and observations that you identified during this evaluation process. How did you identify
specific flavors? Was the identification primarily driven by aroma or by in-mouth smells? Was it more or less difficult to identify
the spice type and level in white wine as opposed to red wine? Did any wine have a long but negative aftertaste?
