vista/nariz/boca

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary enología
Dear colleagues,

I'm translating a tasting wine notes from Spanish into English and I would like to know how you would translate the stages to wine tasting: vista/nariz/boca. I'm thinking on "appearance, aroma and in mouth or palate". Could you give me some ideas? Thank you indeed!

Here I attach the context:

Nota de cata
Vista: Amarillo dorado brillante de intensidad media.
Nariz: Alta intensidad de aromas dulces a frutas tropicales como mango y piña sobre un fondo de frutos secos, miel
y hierbas aromáticas.
Boca: Buen equilibrio con la acidez que lo refresca y lo acompaña al final de boca, donde deja recuerdos dulces de
miel y frutos tostados.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@ Ariadna Yes, Carol is right - they should be posted separately according to the site guidelines:

2.3 Se permite un término por pregunta. La inclusión de varios términos en una sola pregunta KudoZ interfiere con el proceso de generación de entradas de glosario.

Tips on Tasting
The Taste of Wine

The difference between tasting and drinking is similar to test-driving a car you may buy and the relish of driving it afterwards. One is a matter of concentration, as you seek out distinguishing merits and faults, while the other is a far more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Tasting is a matter of concentration, and almost anyone can acquire the technique. When tasting a wine it is important to eliminate all distractions, especially comments made by others; it is all too easy to be swayed. The wine should be tasted and an opinion registered before any ensuing discussions. Even at professionally led tastings, the expert’s job is not to dictate but to educate, to lead from behind, putting into perspective other people’s natural responses to smells or tastes through clear and concise explanation.

**THE SIGHT OR “EYE” OF A WINE**

The first step is to assess the wine’s limpidity, which should be perfectly clear. Many wines throw a deposit, but this is harmless if it settles to yield a bright and clear wine. If it is cloudy or hazy, the wine should be discarded. Tiny bubbles that appear on the bowl or cling persistently to the edge of the glass are perfectly acceptable in a few wines, such as Muscadet sur lie and Vinho Verde, but probably indicate a flaw in most other still wines, particularly if red and from classic Old World regions.

When tasting a wine you should ignore always what you have heard in the way of comments from others. It is amazing how often one can be influenced by outside opinion. Taste the wine first, form your own thoughts, and then enjoy a discussion regarding the observations, smells and tastes you have experienced.

To fully appreciate what a wine has to offer the three senses of sight, smell and taste are used. In wine parlance they are known as ***“eye”, “nose” and “palate”.**

appearance/ nose / palate

one option
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_tasting‎
These aspects are 1) the appearance of the wine, 2) the nose or smell, 3) the palate or taste, and 4) overall. Different systems weight these differently (e.g., ...www.articlesbase.com/wines.../how-to-taste-wine-ap...

You'd need to go to the tasting stages of the link I've given you to find the equivalent to what you have asked.

eye/nose/mouth

There are many correct terms presented here backed up by excellent references. However, I feel that using the names of the sense organs (followed by a description of what each organ perceives) is very effective on the menu because it will make a direct impact on the reader.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Lisa McCarthy : This is not a menu, but tasting notes.

I stand corrected. In that case, perhaps "appearance" would be better than eye.
