Grapes the process is my grading system for a wines' length. After swirling the juice around in my mouth, I swallow and then....Take my tongue and run it on my top teeth as far out as possible. Each time I do that is considered a lap. If you can do it 3 rimes and the wine is still present on the palate, a 3-lapper. 4 times etc. The legendary 5-lapper comes along so seldom you'll be amazed if and when you experience one. I've found this method far more reliable than counting seconds because wines with high glycerine content seem to coat my tongue and stay there. WW
