Taste Differences?

Most people other than "super tasters" (apparently a genetic thing) can't discern all the common descriptors (plum, cherry, "red fruits", leather, etc.). Most also couldn't tell the difference between varietals or between vinifera and well made hybrid wines (even the "experts" probably couldn't in a true blind tasting that included a good Chambourcin or Norton). The only thing obvious to me is that some Cabernets are very tannic, so that would provide a distinction with something like Pinot Noir or Chambourcin, especially if the Cab. was over oaked.

Interesting. I never thought that people has different classifications when it comes to tasting.
