One may object that the word "geleioso" does not seem to exist in a Portuguese dictionary, but the term is regularly used in wine oriented literature.

com sabor de marmelada


Explanation:
com sabores/paladar à/de marmelada

Temos que nos lembrar que aquilo que nós chamamos em português geleia os Ingleses chamam a marmelada;

Notemos que...
low acidity, ripe black and red fruit character which can be slightly jammy

Descreve o fruto de gelaia mas que os Ingleses conhecem como marmelada, porque quem inventou a marmelada foram os portugueses, começando com o marmelo. Daí a confusão.

Um exemplo destes vinhos...
