Jam

The online dictionary completely ignores the meaning of "jammy" as "tasting of jam" (a frequent use in wine-tasting). Waht would you suggest?

May be "un arôme de confiture" can match.

I hadn't come across that usage -- I'll add to the next update of the dictionary!

Note that in British slang jammy as an adjective means lucky. You jammy son-of-a-gun would be a good colloquial translation of veinard.
