bouquet

Wine's characteristic scent

A bouquet is a bunch of flowers arranged for display or presentation: The bride carried a bouquet of white roses.

By extension, bouquet refers to the characteristic scent of wine, encompassing its complex aromas: This Burgundy has an earthy bouquet with hints of cherry.

The word can also describe any pleasant arrangement or collection: a bouquet of compliments.
