French term or phrase: tout en bouche
...élevé en fûts, un vin à la robe rubis intense, avec ce nez caractéristique de petits fruits rouges frais ( cassis, griotte…), aux tanins denses, tout en nuances, tout en bouche, d’excellente garde.

I hadn't come across this expression before which is apparently quite common in winespeak. I am thinking, "full in the mouth" but would be interested in any comments.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, possibly, although I don't really like "good mouth fill", "rich mouth fill" etc. and anyway, what sort of wine doesn't fill your mouth? I know, I know...

full mouthed


Explanation:
Not to be confused with foul mouthed :-)

Example sentence(s):
  • a big but soft edged structure that carries bold fruit flavors to a full-mouthed flavorful finish.
  • the resulting wine shows the difference in more layers of aromas, full-mouthed fruit flavors and wonderfully supple tannins

Not to be said with a lisp!

Example sentence(s):
  • A big mouthy wine, there’s a solid structure with soft tannins that hold it together without breaking. Nice finish and very easy to drink.
