earthy
May be used in both a negative and a positive sense; however, I prefer to use earthy to denote a positive aroma of fresh, rich, clean soil. Earthy is a more intense smell than woody or truffle scents. |
elegant
Although more white wines than red are described as being elegant, lighter-styled, graceful, balance red wines can be elegant. |
extract
This is everything in a wine besides water, sugar, alcohol, and acidity. |
exuberant
Like extroverted, somewhat hyper people, wines too can be gushing with fruit and seem nervous and intensely vigorous. |
