Thanks! Hi, I'd found "seduce" as well, but captivate or charm are better.

tickles the tastebuds / rewrite

or: a tantalising experience for the tastebuds

Alternatively, you could rewrite e.g.:
This dry blah blah wine boasts a subtle (Kräuterwürzigkeit).

I really don't think you need the Gaumen in there as such - it's a typically corny/conservative style of talking ("besticht durch ...") that doesn't necessarily translate for English-speakers.
