Variations on a Grape colour theme
Every
wine has its own color.
The aroma of wine can be strong, heady, resinous, delicate, constant, frail, aromatic or spicy and it can smell of violets, roses, raspberries or almonds. Taste, like color, is heavily influenced by surroundings. It depends on how one feels, on the atmosphere and on the memories its aroma brings back.
The flavor of wine can be dry, round, full, soft, inspired,
mellow, sweet, medium-sweet, heavily sweet, sour, sapid, earthy, fresh,
airy, pungent, velveteen, neutral, spirited, austere, tannic, sharp, cloying,
piquant, brusque, elusive, fruity, light, frail, full-bodied, generous,
harmonious, clear, balanced, sincere, hard, with an aftertaste …… Even
the flavor of wine can change. It depends on the food that has been eaten
or on hunger; it can be influenced by the air, the breeze, by the season,
by other flavors or even by the other times that the wine was tasted.
It also depends on one's state of mind. |
