WineFrog explains Broad
The term "Broad" mainly focuses on the taste of the wine. If a wine has a very pronounced flavor of some fruit that stretches across the tasting process of a wine, then that fruit flavor will be treated as a broad flavor. In wines considered to be broad, the taste of the wine remains on the palate for a longer period of time when compared to more subtle wines who's flavor subsides almost immidieatly after tasting. It is basically used to explain the personality of a wine in regards to flavor or smell, which in most cases is complex with a lot of subtleties.
