Term for the taste of mostly red wines in the context of a wine evaluation or wine address, which is usually to be understood positively. The higher alcohol content thus gives a wine expression, fullness and power. However, this can also refer to the ruby red, bright colour. If there is an excess of alcohol, this is referred to negatively as brandy-like, burning or pungent. Related terms are alcoholic and peppery, and to some extent powerful, mighty, heavy and bulky.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
