How do I translate "dulzón" into English.
For example:
un vino dulzón.
I would like to avoid the term sweet, since the sentece before has it and it would be redundant.
the sentence is ;
Puede ser un vino blanco dulce, dulzón...
For example:
un vino dulzón.

the sentence is ;

cloying
Cloying is a term often used to describe something that is overly sweet. My dictionary emphasizes "overly sweet" in its definition of dulzón, which is why I'm inclined in that direction. But if you think in the context that it means "very sweet" but not "overly sweet", here's a helpful reference:

suggesting "lush" for the sweet character of a dessert wine.

coarse Used to describe a wine that is not necessarily bad, but is unpolished and lacking roundness.

Regarding your clarification, I don't see why a cake cannot be described as "cloying", "overly sweet", or "sickeningly sweet". "Rich", IMO, does not quite convey the idea of "dulzón". One can have a rich cake (very good ingredients) which is not necessarily cloying.
