French term

laisse percevoir

French to English Bus/Financial Wine / Oenology / Viticulture Description of wines
Hello,

I am working on three brief descriptions of different wines and have come across this term:

"La bouche ample et ronde laisse percevoir des tanins gage d'un grand vieillissement en cave."

Thanks for your help.

hints of / suggest

"lets you perceive" would be rather awkward. Lots of wines use "hints of (e.g.) blueberries, vanilla etc. or you can use the verb "suggest" instead
