Flat

A taste denoting a wine with insufficient total acidity. The taste is truly flat, lifeless, medicinal, and wholly wrong. Technically, it is the absence of the sour taste. This taste appears in wines with a pH greater than 3.75 and a titratable acidity less than 0.5%. The opposite (the taste of excessive total acidity) is Acidulous.
