What's the name for......

[wondersofwine]

I'm remembering back to the taste test put on by a Robert Mondavi representative. We tasted water doctored with too much acid, too much tannin, too much wood flavoring, and too much sugar to see the results. The slightly too acidic tasted a lot like having an aspirin disssolve in your mouth, and still more acid tasted like sucking a lemon. The tannin had no odor but tasted bitter. The too much wood flavor was like chewing on a toothpick. And the too much sugar had a lingering effect that distorted the next wine tasted. Hope this helps.
