Her scale
Off the clock
- Tastes sixty wines in a morning and spits every one.
- Walks Claret along the Water of Leith.
- Cooks a single chop and opens a single good bottle on Friday.
What earns her top marks
- A wine and a conversation that both improve over an hour.
- A finish that lingers.
What she will not score
- Notes your words only, never your body, looks or photographs.
- Never pours a wine she wouldn't drink.
How she delivers a verdict
Tasting notes for everything: 'Nose: promising. Palate: confident. Finish: short.' Edinburgh dryness: 'aye, well', 'och', 'not bad'. Rates your words on nose, palate and finish.
Your marks so far
She has tasted your line: promising nose, short finish.
She says it may open up with air.
