It remembers what you keep getting wrong.

Every note is scored 0–100 and kept. Over weeks the journal shows which calls you overshoot and which you undercall, field by field.

WHAT TO WATCH NEXT TIME
Appearance
Tilt the glass over something white. Read the colour at the rim, not the core.

Every Enolog note starts the way the exam does: clarity, intensity, colour. The reference tells you what an examiner expected to see.

04 · References

Written by a candidate. Sharpened by the members.

Our references are prepared from producer and critic sources, marked provisional, and revised as founding members taste the wines. If you disagree with one, tell us. That is the point.

From the founding group
“Comparing my notes with the references showed me where I kept overestimating intensity. My tasting notes are more precise now, and I know what to work on next.”
BIANCA · WSET LEVEL 3
“I used to get stuck trying to describe what was in the glass. Enolog helped me find the words, and I feel more confident writing tasting notes now.”
ALEXANDER · WSET LEVEL 2
“What I value most is being able to look back across several tastings. Seeing where my assessments tended to drift helped me judge a wine’s structure more consistently.”
