Le Nez du Vin, 54 aromas by Jean Lenoir

Wine contains an astonishing number of aromas. Since our tongue can only distinguish between the four basic sensations: sweet, sour, salt and bitter, it is actually our nose that plays the decisive role in our sense of taste. Le Nez du Vin offers you a wonderful opportunity to train your olfactory abilities. The 54-vial set covers all the most common aromas found in wine. You can "inhale" the individual aromas and compare them directly to the wine you are tasting. Each essence comes with a card providing important information about its incidence in wine. With some practice, your sense of smell will be so keen that you will be able to identify the various aromas easily. You can order the set in German, French and/or English.

You will find a detailed list of the aromas per set here.
