hint


Explanation:
I've come across this a lot in wine writing, and translated it a number of ways, but I think "hints" is the word I've found most useful in many instances.

aftertaste


Explanation:
This has just occurred to me. Would work particularly well in your second sentence: "de recuerdo afable" = with a pleasant aftertaste

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Simon, I think it could work but I'm planning to use 'aftertaste' for 'posgusto' in the next sentence.

Asker: Just thinking about it again, maybe 'long, pleasant aftertaste' could do the trick, without the need to translate 'posgusto'?

lingering note/s


Explanation:
Kinda lingers, as the old joke has it.

I think it would probably be best in plural both times in your text - maybe something like "warm, lingering notes" for "recuerdo afable".
