French term or phrase: première bouche
I know "bouche" is "palate" but I'm not sure how to phrase "première bouche".

Assemblage de Sangiovese (80%), Syrah (10%) et Merlot (10%). Couleur d’un rubis intense et profond. Notes de framboise sur fond délicatement fumé. Première bouche d’une belle pureté de fruit. Noyau généreux et plein. Rétro-olfaction sur des notes d’épices exotiques.

start (in the mouth)
Explanation:
Fruity start in the mouth, with great purity.

The start is usually in opposition to the finish (hopefully with good "length" in between!).

Rather than your two suggestions, I would prefer,
