2.7.9 Flavour Characteristics
ОглавлениеThe flavour characteristics perceived on the palate may closely replicate the aromas identified on the nose, but new flavours may emerge, and some characteristics previously identified may be muted. When noting individual terms, these may be linked to known varietal characters. Table 2.6 lists some of the flavours that may be perceived in white wines and the grape varieties or other wine components commonly associated with them. Table 2.7 lists some of the flavours found in red wines and their associated varieties and other wine components.
