Description for a wine in the context of a wine evaluation or wine address. However, this usually rather unpleasant taste and smell impression must be seen in context and can refer to a high content of alcohol, acids or tannins. It can range from obtrusive to negatively aggressive. See astringent, alcoholic, brandy, warm, edgy, peppery, sour and pungent.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
