ein toastwürziger Chardonnay.

Selected answer:Spicy and toasted
Explanation:
Or "spicy, toasted...". Toasted is a quite common term in English qwine circles, but usually with a modifier ("lightly toasted", "richly toasted" etc) - I'd suggest using two adjectives as below:

HTH

The wine has a ruby red colour with an intense floral, *spicy and toasted bouquet*. The taste has a great volume with tannic density, persistent and long ending. ... "

"Plum and dark cherry and pepper greet your nose when you inhale from the chimney of your glass. Fifteen months in oak add a toasted bouquet..."
