In Which Antipo Gets All Excited About A Word Again
The Lovely Fluffy Bunny once bought me some very exclusive tea when she was travelling in the US. It was extraordinarily good, with a surprisingly rich taste.
In thanking her in my usual mealy-mouthed and tight-lipped manner, the best word I could think of to describe it was the French 'liquoreux'.
This does not mean simply like alchohol, or liquorice, but rather: rich, heavy, flavourful, syrupy and sinuous on the tongue.
Ah, I'm feeling so much better now that I've got that off my chest...

Tip-lipped and liquoreux seem to go well together if you ask me. ;)
