Fullbodied

/ˌfʊlˈbɒdid/ adjective

Definition

Describing something, especially wine or coffee, that has a rich, heavy, or substantial flavor or texture.

Etymology

From 'full' (complete, substantial) plus 'bodied' (having a body or substance), combining to describe the weight and richness of a drink's character.

Kelly Says

Wine tasters use 'full-bodied' to describe wines with more tannins, alcohol, and flavor intensity—paradoxically, light wines can be more complex, but full-bodied ones feel more satisfying on the tongue.
