Weight
The impression of volume in the mouth that a wine imparts.
Well-balanced
Wines whose components - acid, alcohol, tannin and residual sugar - relate in
a balanced way, so none overwhelm the others.
Wood tannin
Tannins that are attributable to the barrels in which the wine was aged, rather
than from the grapes.
Woody
The "off" odor of wines stored too long in oak barrels.
