Foodie,

Almost a cloying sweet smell with a touch of alcohol. As the night progressed, the glycerin diminished some but was still present. In many wines, I find this appealling, here it was a distraction. I'm still going to get a couple more bottles to test as I think I may have had an "off" bottle.

You might have an example in your cabinet. Pull out some extract (vanilla, almond, etc.). Take a good whiff; you're sure to get a smell of glycerin. When you do this, try to isolate the vanilla(if it's vanilla extract) and what's left is the glycerin. It's a sweetness of a sort. That's about as good as I can do, maybe someone else has input.
