Nose tertiary aromas
Oxygen produces nutty aromas in wine. This is why many wine enthusiasts detect tertiary aromas such as:
Roasted Peanuts
Roasted Almonds
Walnuts
Hazelnuts
In this bottle roasted hazelnuts
Tertiary Aromas in Wine: Oak
In part, oak maturation of wine allows a slow introduction of oxygen into the wine. This develops the nutty aromas we mentioned above. However, oak also infuses wine with woody aromas. Tasters of oak-finished wine pick up tertiary aromas such as:
Vanilla
Clove
Cinammon
Molasses
Allspice
Cedar
In this bottle Clove , allspice , cedar
Great bouquet from an aged Malbec 26/30
