almond-like
A very rare, usually poetic or technical description for a taste or smell that is reminiscent of almonds.

The adjective 'mandel' (almond-like) is derived directly from the noun 'die Mandel' (almond). It describes a taste or smell that is typical of almonds.

The form 'mandel' (almond-like) is very rare and is used almost only in technical language, e.g. in wine tastings, or in poetic language. It is unusual in everyday speech.

The sommelier described the smell as floral and almond-like.
This adjective is used predicatively and is not declined. It therefore comes after a verb like 'sein' (to be), 'schmecken' (to taste), or 'riechen' (to smell) and always keeps the form 'mandel' (almond-like).
Das Gebäck schmeckt intensiv mandel.
