Designation (in German handle or Griffig) for the taste and smell of a mostly red wine in the context of a wine address. This wine is characterised by high tannin content, dark colour and corresponding alcohol content, which gives it an expressive structure.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
