Vegetal
Some wines contain elements in their smell and taste reminiscent of plants and vegetables. In Cabernet Sauvignon a small amount of this vegetal quality is considered to be part of varietal character. But when the vegetal element takes over, or when it shows up in wines in which it does not belong, those wines are considered flawed. Wine scientists have been able to identify the chemical constituent that makes wines smell like asparagus and bell peppers.
