I guess my biggest dilemma with the descriptor is the Adjective here applied to the noun. Does crushing change the smell or taste? Doubtful. Would River Rock been just as good of a description? Probably. Crushed Shells, mmm, makes me hungry for some Oysters or Chowder. :o) Alder,

I don't know why I know this, perhaps from spending summers playing in riverbeds, but this flavor and aroma is particularly useful in describing several Bordeaux wines. Parker also uses "crushed shells" as well! Well, crushed stones don’t really smell or taste all that different from uncrushed stones, but they actually do have a taste and smell!
