Spanish term

De color .... cubierto

Spanish to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture Wine tasting /description
Talking about Cabernet Sauvignon vines and the wine made from them:
"De color intenso y cubierto, son vinos tánicos en su juventud; pero cuando se abren desarrollan una gama inconfundible de aromas florales, frutales (arándanos, cassis, frambuesas, moras) y vegetales (pimiento verde)"
This text is in fact virtually copied straight from the Spanish Wikipedia article on the variety of grape, which goes to explain something of the 'scholarly' nature of the text in general. Nonethess other examples of the same expression exist:
"Color rojo rubí, vivo, bien cubierto y brillante." and again: "Color rojo rubí, cubierto de capa, brillante, limpio y de excelente presencia."
I simply have no idea.

dark... in colour

This refers to the "robe" of the wine, when it is very dark, and not transparent.

I'm sure this has come up on Proz before. I have seen it in glossaries too. Don't have time for refs just now. But this should lead you to the right expression.

I usually use dark or very dark, sometimes coupled with intense.

Depth

I think it's referring to how deep or dense the color is.
This definition may help: Cada vino tiene un color suficiente o insuficiente comprarándolo con los de su tipo y para expresarlo decimos que es un vino cubierto o poco cubierto.

depth

Se refiere al color profundo que apenas permite el paso de la luz.

The wine color's depth or opacity is a measure of how dark it is. Can you easily see through the wine to the other side or is it deep and dark and impenetrable?
