peer agreement (net): +1| am Gaumen nicht üppig not heavy on the palate [or maybe soft] Explanation: Here's a whole variety of "gum" experiences. Somewhere among them, there may be an equivalent to our "chewy", but I think we speak more of palate than gums. http://www.schweiger-wein.at/produkte.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2003-09-02 19:02:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- interesting cross-post... |

peer agreement (net): +1| am Gaumen nicht üppig Not overpowering to the palate......... Explanation: Obviously "lush" would not be the term here! Voluptuous and fullbodied come to mind also. The only refreence I have is 23 years of living close to the California wine country. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2003-09-02 19:04:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reference, sorry for the typo |

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2not over-luscious on the palate Explanation: I think "luscious" is as close as you can get to "ueppig" in this context. As it's generally a positive term, I've put "over-" in front of it. The net effect is suitably pretentious, as wine writing should be. |
