Description (also buffered) for a wine in the context of a wine evaluation or wine talk. This refers to a single sensory component which, despite its intensity, has a harmonious effect and is not unpleasant or dominant in the foreground. In contrast to balanced, the term does not refer to the interplay of all components of a wine, but to individual elements that appear sensory harmonious. The term is used when a single aspect (alcohol, acidity, tannins, rarely sweetness or carbon dioxide) is in balance with the other components without masking them or standing out in a disruptive way.
