🤔 The umami bomb in your glass? 🍄 Some aged or oxidized wines can smell like a mix between soy sauce, mushroom broth, or even bouillon cube stock — and no, it doesn’t mean the wine’s gone bad. 😉 This savory depth comes from extended oxidative aging 💨, where oxygen slowly interacts with the wine, developing complex aromas 🧡 that remind us of umami-rich ingredients. Wines like: 🔸 Vin Jaune (Jura) 🔸 Aged Amontillado or Palo Cortado Sherry 🔸 Some orange wines (skin-contact whites) 🔸 Aged white Rioja or oxidized Chenin Blanc These wines often show off roasted 🌰, dried mushrooms, soy, and savory notes that confuse the nose at first — but reward the palate with structure, depth, and layers. The first time I tried a Vin Jaune, I thought it had been left open for too long 😅 — now I pair it with Comté like a true match. 🧀 Do you love the savory side of wine??? 🥂🧂🥂 **Umami, Oxidative wines, Orange wine, Wine aromas, Jura, Sherry** #wine #winelovers #whitewine #redwine ...
