Spanish term

goloso

Spanish to English Other Food & Drink Wine
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.

I would vote for any answer with a convincing Spanish reference! English ones aren't much help.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "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

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

An utterly charming, moreish off-dry wine that dances on the nose and palate, and has gentle, complex English apple flavours.

Indulgent

Thinking around the meaning in Spanish I think it indicates the feelgood side of the taste. Hope this helps!
Peer comment(s):

agree Phoenix III : Yes, you nailed it! In this context "goloso" is indulgent.
