Wine Terminology: Finish

Definition: A wine's "finish" refers to the taste that is left in your mouth after you swallow. Better bottles will have a finish that lasts longer and shows multiple (complex) flavors. Some finishes can go on for minutes so concentrate when you try a wine. The finish is also called the aftertaste.
Use it in a sentence: "What a great wine! It has a long, smooth finish with layered fruit."
