Rubber

Description for a wine in the context of a wine-tasting event, which has a typical smell and taste of burnt or scorched rubber or a chemical tone. Mostly this is to be understood negatively and indicates a wine fault, for example Böckser or solvent tone. Wines from the South African variety Pinotage and occasionally also other wines from warmer wine-growing regions often have a more or less pronounced rubber tone, which is not necessarily considered a wine defect.
