bitter taste in wine, rich, full flavoured
醰 centers on a deep, rich flavor, especially the complex bitterness found in full-bodied wine. It describes a taste that is intense and layered rather than simple or weak.
醰 combines 酉 (wine jar) with 覃, which likely contributes the sound and may carry an idea of depth or extending, suggesting a deep, rich flavor in wine.
The wine jar 酉 on the left holds a deep, rich brew. The right side 覃 looks like a container with something extending inside, like a flavor that spreads and lingers. Together they suggest a full-bodied, bitter-rich wine.
For タン, imagine a wine taster swirling a glass of deep, tannic red wine: tannin -> タン, and the rich bitterness coats the tongue.
