In this episode we take a Masterclass from Marc Malouf on assessing the qualities of wine. He takes us through a live review on assessing the wine from its sight, smell, and taste. We try to see how Marc compares 2 x wines as a blind tasting. Both wines are from the same producer, same vintage, same grape variety, however one is almost double the price of the other. 

Marc has such a refined palate and was able to pick up such minute smells and flavours and surprisingly could guess which wines we had chosen. Thanks Marc for taking us through your assessment process in this masterclass.
