: I've never read 'core' on a wine label in UK. 'Body' is more usual.

"Core" is not a term I have heard used with wine before.
Here, the French is discussing, IMO, the basic part of the wine, which is neither the start, nor the finish, but the middle. As this is the main part of wine-tasting, it could also be called the foundation.
That said, core could be used, too.

This use of "noyau" seems to be Canadian.
It's a slightly different way of talking about wine - I think that, in UK English at least, there is a tendency to make remarks about a wine without specifically referring to the middle/central structure etc.. One might qualify the start and the finish with being fruity, tannic etc, but then any other adjectives simply apply to the wine's main mouth sensation, or "essential character" to get back to "nucleus".
So I would not try to translate nucleus, as it risks sounding odd.
Just say, "Generous and full-bodied; retro-olfaction with notes of exotic spices".

: Yes - "full core" isn't a term I've heard with wine, and it doesn't Google well...

: Except 'retro-olfaction' would not be understood by 99.9% of EN people. 'Background aroma' or similar, more simply? Label language here is tending noticeably towards simplification, to widen market.//Only 6 UK ghits for retro-olf. & 2 explain the term

Absolutely, depends on the target audience, I got the impression these were quite "serious" tasting notes.
