fruitier
Having stronger berry-notes
Fruitier is the comparative form of fruity, describing something with a more pronounced fruit flavor or aroma than something else: This wine is fruitier than the one we had last night.
Beyond literal taste, fruitier can mean more flamboyant or eccentric in manner, sometimes used as a mildly offensive way to suggest effeminacy in men.
It can also indicate something that sounds increasingly absurd: Each excuse got fruitier than the last.
