Taste Intelligence

We're mapping the
language of taste.

Palatec is building the intelligence layer between taste and technology — turning expert sensory knowledge into structured, trainable data. Starting with wine.

The Problem

Wine apps know what
you bought. None of them
know what you taste.

Scores and ratings describe what critics think. Popularity tells you what the crowd prefers. But your palate — what you actually taste, what resonates with your specific sensory profile — has never been part of the equation. That's the problem Palatec is built to solve.

How It Works

From expert knowledge to your next bottle.

01

Expert knowledge, encoded

The Founding Palate Council — credentialed sommeliers and wine educators — provide structured tasting evaluations. Flavor, structure, aromatic profile, encoded into a vocabulary AI can learn from.

02

Your palate, mapped

Every wine you try, every note you leave, every bottle you reach for again is a signal. Decanto maps those signals against expert knowledge to build a fingerprint of how you specifically taste.

03

Recommendations that are actually yours

Not what sold most. Not what critics scored highest. Wines that match your palate fingerprint — with the reasoning shown, so you understand why before you open the bottle.

For Wine Professionals

The Founding Palate Council

A founding group of sommeliers, educators, winemakers, and wine writers whose expertise will directly shape how Palatec understands flavor. Your knowledge becomes the intelligence.
