If it makes you feel any better, I'm one of those obnoxious people where, if you put six spices in a meal, I'll be able to tell you what two of them are, guess two more, and have a 50/50 chance at what's left. My palate is not superlative but I have decent senses of taste and smell. That said, the terms used in describing wine are… argumentative, to my way of thinking. People do the same thing with Scotch and for me, it all boils down to "more or less sweet" "more or less smoky" "more or less complex" and "more or less proof." I've got five single-malts in the cabinet right now and three blends.
