polished / elegant Explanation: I actually agree with Mike, as he got the right definition. However, you cannot translate "soft, delicate: applied to ... the soft and delicate wine", as it will then be a tautology. I suggest "polished", as per this Wine Glossary Polished: Wines that are polished are soft, silky, elegant and round, this comes from very ripe and refined tannins.

Elegant may fit the bill as well, although it may not be totally exact or accurate, I think it gets close enogh to the idea. Elegant: Wines with elegance are in balance with soft, refined characteristics and textures. They are never heavy.
