The vast majority of our ability to taste any flavor is directly tied to our sense of smell. Research has shown that we can only taste five basic tastes: saltiness, sourness, sweetness, bitterness and savoriness. So most of the aromas found in wine also contribute to the flavors found in wine. Below are common flavors, but feel free to contact us with any additional flavors that you find common in wine. (info at palatematch.com) It would also be interesting to share in what types of wines you find these flavors.
