Designation (also etheric, sometimes also "highly toned") for the pleasant pleasant odour of a wine in the context of a wine address or wine evaluation, which is derived from the essential oils. These volatile, plant substances have a strong odour characteristic of the plant of origin. Essential oils largely consist of mixtures of different terpenes or aromatic compounds. They are contained in many of the aromatic substances found in wine. Since this smell can therefore vary greatly, the term is only meaningful in context (plant, fruit). Related terms are floral and fragrant, as well as perfumed when extreme.
