The aroma kit contains the twelve notes most representative of woody notes in wine:

1 oak, 2 green wood (fault), 3 coconut, 4 vanilla pod, 5 woody-spicy, 6 clove, 7 smoky, 8 medicinal, 9 new leather, 10 roasted coffee, 11 burnt sugar, 12 candied orange.

Wine writer and tasting trainer Léa Desportes is the author and coordinator of this new edition of the accompanying illustrated guide.

The book has been entirely rewritten in the light of the most recent discoveries in history, silviculture and chemistry, to help explain oak barrels' effect on wine's sensory characteristics. From the species of oak to the winemaker's choices, it describes all the parameters that vary the intensity and quality of the woody character.
