Particular character taken by certain natural sweet wines during their ageing.

Rancio [ran-see-yoh] Term for the peculiarly tangy, and yet highly prized, oxidized flavour of certain fortified wines, particularly in France (e.g., Banyuls (http://www.wineint.com/popupRedirect.asp?URL=encyc_popup.asp?ID=174394)) and Spain.

rancio
[Fr. rahn-SYOH; Sp. RAHN-thyoh] A style of wine made by purposefully oxidizing or maderizing it by placing small barrels of wine in the hot summer sun. This procedure gives the wine a tawny color and a rich, unique flavor. Rancio wines are usually either naturally very high in alcohol or fortified. The results are similar to madeira tawny port or marsala. Rancio wines are made throughout Spain, as well as in southern France. They're usually sipped as an apéritif (http://www.answers.com/topic/ap-ritif).
