"Minerally" is used technically as a descriptor for fine Chablis.

"Nuanced" is another overused word in food writing and in general.


This, I think, is a pick-up from the academic world where it has been over-used for years. Google "nuanced approach" to get an idea of how it has infiltrated just about every aspect of our intellectual lives, from politics to foreign affairs to crime control and on and on and on.

"nuanced" in academia is now a synonym for "wishy washy".
