disagree  ATIL KAYHAN: "Pungent finish" belirli bir sarap tadini tanimliyor, keskin bir tad. Buradaki "agzi kamastiran" anlami daha genel ve daha farkli. Sizinki daha belirgin (specific) bir sarap tadi. Bence "agzi kamastiran" anlami çikmiyor buradan, Recep Bey. Üzgünüm.

  -> İçildikten sonra ağzın kamaşmasına (yani ağız salgısının artmasına) yol açan şey üzümlerin doğal ekşiliğidir (asit oranı). Ama kimse "şarabım ekşi/asitli" şeklinde reklam yapmaz. Bunu farklı bir şekilde ifade edersiniz- "pungent" gibi ;)

leaves a sharp/acidic taste in the mouth


Explanation:
'ağzı kamaştırma' hissi asitten kaynaklanıyor galiba. Yani limon, portakal suyu, şarap gibi. Bu içeceklerin bıraktığı his de bu şekilde tarif edilebilir.

tart


Explanation:
This could mean so many things, but going solely on the TDK's definition of kamaşmak, this sounds like "tart" (also referenced in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_tasting_descriptors and https://www.erobertparker.com/info/glossary.asp and http://www.winemega.com/glossary_wine_terms_t.htm and pretty much any glossary of wine-tasting terms).

disagree  ATIL KAYHAN: Bu belirli bir cins (Chardonnay) sarabin tadini tanimliyor. Yukarida sizin verdiginiz linkte Chardonnay altinda bahsediyor. Belirli bir tadi ifade ediyor. Bizim buradaki "agzi kamastiran" ifadesine bu uymuyor maalesef, Nihan Hanim. Üzgünüm.
