Description for the gustatory(flavour) and trigeminal(sense of touch) impressions perceived in the context of a wine talk or wine evaluation, which describes the soft and full-bodied character of a wine. Such a wine conveys a dense, flowing and full-bodied overall impression with noticeable viscosity, so that you can "chew" it, figuratively speaking. The tannins in red wines are rounded, finely integrated and the acidity is fully integrated. The wine is smooth, soft and full-bodied, without roughness or an angular structural effect.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
