Learn English – Synonym for “one flavor”

foodsingle-word-requestssynonyms

I would like to know if there is an appropriate word for one flavor.

For example:

  • Monosyllabic: one syllable
  • Monochromatic: one color

What is the equivalent word for 'one flavor', e.g. 'mono-gustatic' (obviously this is just a mock-up word for sake of the question)?

Note: I am asking this in reference to wine (if it helps in answering the question.) I encountered a glass which I thought was fairly "one flavored," and thus, the question arose.

Best Answer

Monoaromatic Having a single aromatic ring

Sigh... I thought it up, found it on wikitionary. Thought:Great, it does exist! But the definition does not relate to taste but to an "aromatic ring".

Noun: Any compound having a single aromatic ring, especially such a constituent of petroleum

So, it's looks like the right word but it's not. Sorry

EDIT: One of the definitions of the word "ring" is: a number of atoms so united that they may be graphically represented in cyclic form. Compare chain. Does this mean the compounds which make a fragrance or flavour are called a "ring" and hence a wine can have several aromatic rings? Can a wine have a single dominant fragrance and be called monoaromatic? I don't know. I think only a scientist or chemist could really give us the final word.
