Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Grape [Black] and Aestivalis grape [Black], giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.

Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Grape [Black] and Aestivalis grape [Black] overlap on 8 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
