Evolving palate archetypes
An identity, drawn from the way you taste.
Your archetype is never a label — it's a portrait the engine repaints quietly, every season, as your palate matures.

The full constellation
The engine recognises 23 living archetypes. Three currently shape your identity.
Palate map
Eight axes. One signature.
Every flavour you've encountered settles into a private constellation. The shape of yours has changed three times this year — for the better.
Taste evolution timeline
A year and a half of becoming.
Old World tension rising. New World leaning back. Complexity climbing on a steady curve. Your palate is graduating quietly.
Region mastery
Six terroirs you're becoming fluent in.
Mastery isn't measured in bottles, but in the precision of your notes against the estate's own.

AI insight cards
Quiet observations, written for you.
The engine narrates only what's worth knowing — never alerts, never noise.
"Your palate is shifting toward Old World structure."
Across the last 90 days you've leaned 22 points further into tension and minerality. We've quietly re-weighted your homepage toward Burgundy and Etna.
"You consistently prefer volcanic-soil wines."
Etna, Santorini and the Canaries score 18% above your baseline. Three new estate partners have been queued for early access.
"Members with your profile love Tuscany Reserve Nights."
94% palate compatibility with the Montalcino Reserve Weekend. Your concierge has held Friday seating until Tuesday.
"Blind tasting accuracy is climbing in fine tannin."
You now identify fine-grained tannin at 3.1 glasses earlier than the room median. We've raised the difficulty of your next blind round.

Where the engine touches the experience
Six surfaces. One quiet hand.
The Palate Engine is rarely visible. Its work is the calm certainty that everything you see was chosen for you.
Homepage
Your feed is re-weighted toward Old World tension and volcanic whites.
Tasting rooms
Difficulty raised on fine tannin; flights skewed Sangiovese & Nerello.
Social feed
Members above 80% overlap surface first; lounge invitations tuned.
Experiences
Reserve weekends prioritised in Tuscany, Etna and Burgundy.
Sommelier
Voice tone shifts toward editorial; references your library by name.
Stories
Recap films emphasise terroir narrative over varietal exposition.
