nectarous
Divinely sweet tasting
Nectarous means resembling or having the qualities of nectar—the sweet liquid in flowers or the mythical drink of the gods.
Something nectarous is deliciously sweet: nectarous wine, the nectarous fragrance of honeysuckle.
The word is literary and rare, more likely encountered in poetry than conversation.
