balanced

Description (also rounded, balanced, equilibrated) for the overall sensory perceptions in the context of a wine evaluation or wine address. A balanced wine contains all the relevant components or ingredients in a harmonious, well-integrated ratio or balance. None of them is unpleasant or overly dominant in the foreground; rather, they complement each other and result in a harmonious structure and a well-proportioned body.

ausgewogen - Wagge mit Weingals links und Weintraube, Zitrone und Fass rechts

An optimal ratio of these components is also known as the "sweet spot". In winemaking, an attempt can be made to achieve this state, for example, through a targeted reduction in alcohol. Overemphasising individual components, on the other hand, leads to an unbalanced impression and is referred to as fattening.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
