roundness in the mouth


Explanation:
Definitely not my area of expertise, but I do follow an active interest in culinary fields and am sure that I have heard 'roundness in the mouth' used on more than one occasion.

Example sentence(s):
  • A lovely pale golden colour, remarkable for its roundness in the mouth
  • with taste of fresh fruits aromas. fleshy, kind, roundness in the mouth

mellow in the mouth


Explanation:
A mellow, nicely rounded taste in the mouth

ttp://www.adagio.com/decaf/decaf_apricot.html
Soft, mellow mouthfeel, succulent flavor and balanced astringency.

http://thegreenteareview.blogspot.com/2008/12/mellow-monks-b...
It's just as mellow in the mouth, but lives in the aftertaste, inviting you to sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy the extended experience.

http://www.greysteas.co.uk/acatalog/Ceylon_tea.html
The teas are beautifully floral and produce liquor that is light and mellow in the cup, with an aroma redolent of peaches and apricots.

http://www.imperialteas.co.uk/tea/darjeeling/autumnal-garden...
Selimbong was founded in 1886 and is widely known for its fully aromatic, mild, mellow and fruity autumnal teas.
