Sensory characteristics of Bordô wine

Abstract

Varietal wines made according to the technology used in each winery were evaluated and their sensory characteristics were determined. A panel of nine experimented painelists performed sensory analysis. The results show that out of the 26 descriptors analyzed, nine markedly characterized this wine, i.e., they presented intense color and violet hue; foxy and fruity aroma; body with a medium structure, somewhat acid, foxy and fruity flavor, and strong tipicity.
