Description (also flowery, floral) for the positive impression of a wine in the context of a wine evaluation or wine talk, which belongs to the body group because pronounced floral notes can significantly enhance the sensory presence and overall expression of a wine. Floral impressions are mainly perceived olfactorily(odour), but sometimes also gustatorily(taste) and occasionally trigeminally (elderberry).
Aromatic is the overarching term for wines with intense aromas and flavours and includes floral as well as fragrant, fruity and spicy nuances. Within these impressions, "floral" represents the area of floral notes and thus distinguishes itself from the other aromatic sub-areas. In contrast to "floral", the term fragrant refers to more delicate, more subtle and less intense floral nuances.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
