Terms/ Wine Verbage

Fleshy = Fleshy wines are described as velvety, meaty, or beefy. It signifies that the wine has a lot of alcohol, body, and extract, Think Darker Varieties, Merlot, Cabernet and/ or Shiraz

Stonking = All encumbering, complete, Bloody great, ticks every box.

BIG = No!

Aromatics = Aromas are smells, which originate with the grapes, in contrast to bouquet, which defines smells acquired during bottle-aging. In the process of sensory evaluation, purists can also discriminate between wine’s aroma (smells sensed by sniffing the wine through the nose) and its flavor (smells sensed via the mouth).

Length = We measure this in short, medium, and long. The longer the finish the more positive reaction we will have to the wine. A great testament to how a wine will age.

Elegance = Poise, The velvety steamroller. Not Fat and Sassy

Complexity No.!

Zippy = no twist no turns, straight though to the keeper. White wines are often described with characteristics similar to lemon or lime juice.
