Italian term or phrase: ben strutturato e armonico
Sempre descrizione di vini: dopo l'invecchiamento in botti e l'affinamento in bottiglia, questo vino si presenta ben strutturato e armonico.
Non vorrei essere troppo letterale, sto cercando qualcosa di più... "esotico"... (se possibile) Grazie!

has impressive structure and balance/poise
Explanation:
"Structure" is winespeak and should be left as it is ("has good structure/is well-structured").

You have more leeway with "armonioso", which you can express in a nominal or adjectival phrase based on "harmony/harmonious", "balance/well-balanced", "poise/poised" or "equilibrium".

articulated and harmonious


Explanation:
"armonico" lo lascerei perché suona bene, e poi sia "harmonious" che "articulated" fanno parte del lessico musicale e formano quindi una bella coppia di aggettivi che porta anche il giusto tocco di esotismo.
