I have no idea how wet wool and, flint and wet stones smell like. It seems such an abstract concept to me. I have asked this question to two different WSET teachers, I still don't understand it. Once I watched a video from Konstantin Baum where he questioned ability to detect the minerality aroma/flavour, I think I would question it too😅
@jiriimmonen4767 probably with wool but not with stones. Unless you rub them, they don't have any smell. What about the flavours? As I've never tried soaking wool and stones in order to taste them and I never will 😁
@@lauracanna2201 It is possible to extrapolate a taste from an odor at least to have some kind of impression of it. You could go for a walk on a gravel road after rain and smell around.🤔😉♥️
Jimmy, this is great. I wish I’d had this as a study aid when I was going through the WSET 2 curriculum. Thank you.
Thank you!
I think wet wool is a Chenin Blanc thing.. Riesling is more petrol/kerosene. (Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong)
Wet and wooly with Riesling?? I haven't tasted all of them, but I've honestly never found that one! 🤔

It is not abstract at all. You can literally just take some wool and stones, soak them in water and smell them.❤
