Italian term or phrase: rancio

"Al naso rivela una complessità più accentuata, un leggero **rancio** (tipico aroma di vini che subiscono un'ossidazione voluta) che poi gira verso note di sottobosco..."

Anybody have any idea for this? As you see there is an explanation of the aroma, but nothing springs to mind...

Thanks!

rancio: A unique character found in fortified wines which have spent a significant time in old oak barrels. The character is best described as a lifted blend of butterscotch and old wood aromas.

RANCIO
Word normally used to describe a flavor perception found in tawny brown, wood-aged and heated fortified wines such as some "Madeira".

Rancio Tasting term used to describe the rather pungent smell of intentionally oxidised wines, such as wood-aged fortified wines and older vins doux naturels.

22 percent because of fortification, that is to the added alcohol, is complex and takes long period of time, by making use of the famous Solera method, as well as a specific technique which gives them the typical oxidized character known as "rancio".

Apparently, it remains the same.
