rich flavor

Full, satisfying taste

Rich flavor describes a taste that is deep, full, and complex rather than simple or mild.

The term suggests layers of sensation—a chocolate with rich flavor has intensity and depth that lingers.

Rich flavors tend toward the savory, sweet, or umami rather than bright or acidic notes: The stew had a rich flavor from hours of slow cooking.
