      • Level 1: Introduces basic structural components and characteristics of wine.

      • Level 2: Adds intensity, finish, and introduces quality assessment with BLIC.

      • Level 3: Increases specificity with development, plus/minus modifiers, and readiness for drinking.

  2. Tasting Example: 2000 Bordeaux (Right Bank)

      • Example conclusion: Medium ruby color, pronounced aromas of black fruit, oak, and tertiary notes; long finish; outstanding quality.

    • Level 3 SAT Note:

      • Added clarity, development, and plus/minus modifiers.

      • Example conclusion: Clear, medium ruby; pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco, and cedar; medium-plus tannin; drink now but has potential for aging.
