Are wine aromas like watercolours? Or are they more like the impressionist paintings, or even abstract art?

ADVENTURES IN SCENT

With advances in chemistry, Luca Turin in his book “The Secret of Scent”, suggests that the modern day perfumer has become like the abstract painter, no longer bound to realism. The idea that scent is abstract, or at least can be in the world of fragrance, opens new doors to describing the sensations that arise from it. Describing wine aromas has always been predominantly focused on identifying their likeness in nature, more like a hyper-realist still life painting- but what if it could go beyond that, embracing all the complexity and nuance involved?

🇮🇹 “...E, nella piacevole conversazione intorno all’atto della degustazione, che, lo confesso, in passato ho sbeffeggiato tanto mi sembrava esoterico (non me ne vogliano i compagni di viaggio), ho finalmente compreso. Il vino è, prima di tutto, convivium, quel vivere insieme la cui quintessenza è il banchetto con la conversazione che ne nasce intorno.”
