Description

“Marzipan, like bitter almonds, marzipan or cherries”

Certified wine flavour standard used to train professional wine tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of marzipan character.

Benzaldehyde can arise as a taint in wines which have been stored in poorly-line epoxy resin tanks. It is also associated with wines which have been made using carbonic maceration, and with ageing of Champagne. The compound imparts an almond-like note, reminiscent of marzipan or cherries.
