Thanks. I was also going to say "full-bodied" - but then I saw many references where "full-bodied" and "well constituted" are used about the same wine, so I figured they must be separate concepts.

Kate Major Patience
: I like this, and I also agree that my first instinct was "full-bodied", but as you and S Price have already commented...:)

Hi David: I'm not fully convinced that it's the best option, but was kindly encouraged to venture it anyway. Thanks for you comment. I am sure it will be taken into account. What we want to see is the most appropriate answer, after all. Have a good day :)

Hi! You might like to check out this link:
http://www.todovino.com/_internal/es/iberia04/pdf/CartaVinos...
In the tasting notes on page 6 or 7 "bien constituido" comes up as "flavoursome on the palate", and I'm not sure if that's as good as Alexander's suggestion, but the menu might be useful to you in general as it's bilingual. :)

Hi Eileen: I think Scott's answer might be better in this particular case, and anyway, just thought it might be a useful comparison for this and other terms for your text in general. I hope it helps, anyway.

Note from asker:
| Kate, why don't you put it on the answer section rather than as a comment? |
| Just that you may have the possibility of being right and earning points. Just thought I would point it out and yes your PDF helped too, thanks. |
