It is a curious thing that when learning wine we are forced to learn it's language which at best is boring... "aroma's of stone fruit's, persimmon, oh is that cumin?" Forget that I want to know some tangibles, high acid, palate texture and weight and maybe some abstract story to go along. I don't know maybe write me the saddest poem I will read tonight... maybe? Could you imagine if we contemplated all thing's subjective and personal to communicate with others... jizz is right. I prefer brevity, and sometimes even more so no descriptors at all.

But honestly, tasting notes are typically total bullshit and shouldn't be trusted in the least bit. I had a lengthy conversation with Guilhaume about wines that taste like “jizz.”
