English term or phrase: texture
Definition from thewinedoctor.com:
The texture of a wine describes how the wine feels in the mouth - is it silky, velvety, rounded, or smooth? It is a more specific term than body, which describes the general impact of the wine.

Example sentence(s):
  • This beautifully complex Premier Cru Chardonnay had its usual cheessy barrel ferment complexity and subtle hazelnutty fruit. However what rang my bells was its unmistakable creamy texture that seduced my palate with every mouthful. aromadictionary.com
  • But another important distinguishing feature is not detectable by eyes, nose or taste buds. That is texture, the tactile sense of wine on the mouth, tongue and throat. the International Herald Tribune
  • The texture of a Pinot Grigio is worth noting, as it has very smooth, almost silk-like overtones that leave an impression on the palate. About.com: wine

舌触り


Definition from 黄金の丘で君と転げまわりた�:
「舌触り」とはワインを口に含んだときに覚える触感、質感、肌理[きめ]を指し、布地という意味を持つ元のラテン語「テクストゥラ」から派生していることから、その表現には布地の感触がメタファーとしてよく使われる。

STEFANIA MAURO Oddio mi ero dimenticata di chiudere questa domanda! alla fine avevo trovato in rete "scena dei segni lasciati", nel senso proprio dei segni degli pneumatici. Grazie Violanna
