I'll try to take your comment as a good one, though I think I detect a tongue stuck firmly in cheek.<BR/><BR/>And Terrance T.,<BR/>You ask a very good question, and one that's difficult to answer without going through contortions. But here goes.... In short, "reduced flavors/aromas" refer to aspects of a wine that are direct side effects of a reductive (vs. oxidative) winemaking regime (i.e., steel vs. oak, rotofermentation vs. traditional maceration, etc.). Some grape varieties, Dolcetto for one, are partiularly prone to showing the negative traits of reductivity if not handled properly. Reduced flavors can include things ranging from sulfur to rubber to smoke. In subtle forms, they can actually add interest to a wine's aromatic profile and will also usually blow off with aeration. In extreme cases, though, reductive aromas/flavors can be so strong that they may never integrate, thus rendering a wine flawed.<BR/><BR/>For a more technically precise explanation, you may want to refer to a text such as Jamie Goode's "Science of Wine."David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-49323916290024130102009-02-19T19:23:00.000-05:002009-02-19T19:23:00.000-05:00Thanks for participating, everyone.
