There are always strange and confusing technical terms used in wine tasting. For example, the word “Meaty”, which translates to “meaty”, is often used by many wine critics when evaluating wines. What is this?
In Robert Parker’s summary of terms, wines that are “Flesh” and “Chewy” can both be called “meaty. The term “flesh” is used in Parker’s summary of terms. The term “meaty” refers to a wine that is firm and chewy, full-bodied, high in alcohol, full of flavor, and high in glycerin, words that seem to describe a “big” wine. In summary, it is a chewy “big” wine, which is Robert & middot; Parker’s preferred type of wine. The second explanation refers to the wine’s aromas of savory, “gamey” meat. In Juliet Cullinan’s terminology, “gamey” is an overripe flavor. More information suggests that “gamey” is an earthy flavor, mainly used to describe a flavor reminiscent of cooked chicken or duck. Other people think that “gamey” refers to the smell of wet brush and mushrooms. These smells are typically found in some of the better Burgundy, Rhone Valley, and Pomerol reds. The third explanation is that the wine is tannic and has a subtle metallic saltiness on the palate. Most of these “fleshy” wines come from sunnier vineyards, such as southern Europe, Chile and northern Argentina. The grapes are grown in hotter regions and are produced using traditional natural uncontrolled open barrel fermentation. Modern winemaking methods usually involve controlled temperature fermentation, which allows the wine to retain fresh fruit aromas and a juicy taste. However, this natural fermentation method can break down some of the fresh fruit flavors, although some varietal aromas can still be retained. There are both overlaps and differences between these 3 explanations. For example, some great Côtes du Rhône wines can be “big” and still have some meat notes. However, some red Burgundy wines with meat flavors do not have the characteristics of a “big” wine. So it seems that although they are all called “meaty,” there are significant differences in what “meaty” means in different places.Tips: Stay tuned to the LuFuture app for the latest market updates.
