So–do you think that hifi reviewers’ are a bit ridiculous in their hyperbole?
Well, here’s a wine that’d “hedonistic but without excess”
Oh brother…
93 Points - Robert Parkers Wine Advocate - “The classical 2015 Viña Real Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo with 10% Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano from a warm and early harvest that fermented in stainless steel vats and aged in new oak barriques for 22 months with rackings every four months. I find it very expressive, aromatic and open, ripe and hedonistic but without excess. It has the soft and approachable profile of the Alavesa wines but with the grip of the fine-grained, chalky tannins. It’s gentle but has clout.”
What?

Makes complete sense to me.
So, you must be “Soft but approachable”; “gentle but with clout”.
What’s the correct spelling for ay yai yai?
My wife would agree with that!
