Watch a top sommelier nose and taste a wine, and when he says "I think this is from California, it's a cabernet, I think in fact it's a north coast cabernet... and I think it's from Broken Oak and I'd guess the 2016." At the top level, they don't disagree and seldom get things wrong other than trivial details (this hillside vs that hillside).

Great scene from TAXI:
One of the drivers left a bag of cookies on a table in the garage.
Jim first smells one of them, says, "Ohhh .... they got a nice little surprise inside, something a lot more powerful than oatmeal."
Then he grinds a piece between his fingers, listens to it, says, "Coca leaves from, uh, South America."
Then he smells it, says, "Peru, I believe."
Then he takes a small bite, nibbles it between his front teeth, says, "Southern Peru, '74, before the rain."
Takes another bite, nods his head, says, "Poignant. Not overbearing."

Good heavens, this thread isn't wandering; it's frenetically changing subject.

So, start over if you must, but keep on track.
