01Which note is best supported by the fictional example?

Light body, little sweetness and a mouthwatering edge. An expensive wine from a famous vineyard. A guaranteed long-ageing wine.

02Must every sensory category be filled?

Yes; uncertainty invalidates the note. No; unclear categories may stay uncertain. Yes; borrow missing words from the label.

03You like body but want less grip. What should your request preserve?

The exact price as the only criterion. More sweetness regardless of texture. The full feel while asking for gentler tannin.

04Why can a later note differ from today’s?

Serving conditions and attention can change the experience. Only because the earlier learner failed. Because tasting notes have no use.
