taste-wise
Refers to the taste of food or drinks; in relation to what one can taste.
Geschmacklich ist der Wein ausgezeichnet, aber er ist etwas zu teuer.
Taste-wise, the wine is excellent, but it is a bit too expensive.
The adjective is derived from the noun 'der Geschmack' (taste). The ending '-lich' turns the noun into an adjective meaning 'in relation to taste'.
Zwischen den beiden Soßen gibt es einen großen geschmacklichen Unterschied.
There is a big difference in taste between the two sauces.
'Geschmacklich' is usually used as an adverb to modify a verb or another adjective. It rarely comes directly before a noun.
Das Gericht war geschmacklich einwandfrei.
The dish was flawless taste-wise.
The context makes it clear which meaning is intended. If it is about food and drinks, it refers to the sense of taste. If it is about furniture, clothing, or art, it refers to aesthetic taste.
Der Kaffee ist geschmacklich sehr intensiv.
The coffee is very intense taste-wise.
In relation to food and drinks, 'geschmacklich' is often combined with verbs such as 'überzeugen' (to convince/impress), 'passen zu' (to go with), or 'verbessern' (to improve). Adjectives such as 'hervorragend' (excellent) or 'enttäuschend' (disappointing) are also common.
Der Käse passt geschmacklich perfekt zum Rotwein.
The cheese goes perfectly with the red wine taste-wise.
delicious
'lecker' and 'geschmacklich' both have to do with taste, but they work differently. 'lecker' is a direct positive judgment about food or drinks: something tastes good. 'geschmacklich' only describes the area of taste and does not automatically say whether something is good or bad. You often need an addition such as 'gut' (good), 'interessant' (interesting), or 'zu süß' (too sweet). In addition, 'geschmacklich' can also refer to personal style, for example with clothing or interior design. The words can be confused because both are connected with 'Geschmack' (taste). As a practical rule: if you simply want to say that food tastes good, 'lecker' sounds more natural.
Geschmacklich ist der Kuchen gut, aber er ist mir etwas zu süß.
Taste-wise, the cake is good, but it is a bit too sweet for me.
Die Suppe war nach dem langen Spaziergang besonders lecker.
The soup was especially delicious after the long walk.
