burnt

Designation (also charred, brownish) for the smell and taste of a wine in the context of a wine evaluation or wine address, which can be positive to negative depending on the expression and cause and can therefore only be correctly interpetated in context. Tones that partly appear similar or occur together are described as buttery, roasted (less pronounced than burnt), caramelised and smoky. Burnt or roasted tones can also be found in noble sweet Beerenauslesen and Trockenbeerenauslesen as well as in oxidatively matured dessert wines.
