Solid. Small moves left on the board.
Uncharted, six of six roles, few layers have a partner.
Holding the summit: a finished composition
More acid than 90% of the catalog.
Each bar is one pillar of the score, 0 to 100. The tick marks what a sandwich at the summit needs; an amber bar is the one holding this sandwich back.
La Palma flour tortilla, served cold: grilled chicken breast; shredded romaine; Deluxe Caesar dressing (house-made); lemon zest; nigella-pepita-parmesan crisps (house-made); black pepper.
Much of this build is inferred from the name; the score is a reading, and it stays out of Dolores Deluxe's typical score.

The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.
