Default Don't Make Out This Tasting Note

"lemon citrus and fresh strawberry flavours balanced with a soft, refreshing
finish".
I know "balance" means harmony between two suppposedly opposing elements,
with neither of the two overpowering the other. Is it possible that fruity
flavours overpower refreshment? Or sugar overpowers sweetness. "Acidity
overpowers sweetness or vice versa" or "dryness overpowers ripe fruit
flavours" would make more sense.
Please advise.

I'd see "lemon citrus" (= acidity) and "soft finish" as the
opposing elements.
