foxy

Flavour characteristic of certain species of American grapes and the wine made from them, which in Europe is usually understood negatively (in Japan, however, this often very intense aroma is perceived as pleasant). It is often described as intense and unpleasant, accompanied by a sweetish, artificial flavour reminiscent of overripe fruit, strawberry jam or grape juice. The smell and taste evoke associations of animal and earthy tones reminiscent of a fox's den, complemented by nuances of other tones such as fox urine (cat urine), wet fox fur, damp earth and occasionally animal faeces.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
