blunt

Description (also pale, lacklustre, lifeless) for a wine in the context of a wine evaluation or wine address, which can only be interpreted in context. In terms of colour, the term refers to a wine with a lack of brilliance, dull reflections or a slight cloudiness, which makes the visual impression appear flat.

However, dull can also refer to flavour sensations. On the tongue, dull describes a slightly coated or drying mouthfeel, which is particularly common in faulty wines. Various wine faults can cause such a "dulling" of the teeth or a furry feeling, for example sulphuric acid firn or UTA (atypical ageing tone). However, a dull mouthfeel can also occur with highly tannic wines.
