[Thomas]

Don't want to confuse you astonv01, but "bright" could mean crispness, which might mean acidity.

Words are just that--words. I know of few words that are universally acknowledged as proper wine descriptors. The problem is amplified by the fact that everyone's palate is unique and that we all do not have the same experiences with taste and sensations to come up with the same words to identify a like sensation. I might call bright what you might consider too acidic, or I might call bland what you might consider smooth.

The thing to grasp is that, barring the technical stuff, enjoying wine is a subjective pleasure. If you like something call it by the words that come to your mind not by the words that come to someone else's.
