Spanish term or phrase: goloso
One more wine-related one, please....

I'm not finding anything conclusive for this. And I'm not convinced by the existing two wine-related entries in Proz, which are to do with sweetness, seeing as the attack (entrada) is already "dulce".

"Aroma a frutas rojas, con entrada golosa y dulce..... El final es muy goloso y placentero."

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Carol and everyone for your help with this. I went with attractive in the end (especially in view of the examples provided).
I liked "indulgent" and moreish too, but felt they went better with something like a rich dessert or chocolate. Have added all three terms to the glossary for future reference.
Thanks again!

moreish


Explanation:
So pleasant it makes you want more. This term is often used when describing wine.

Example sentence(s):
  • An utterly charming, moreish off-dry wine that dances on the nose and palate, and has gentle, complex English apple flavours.
