I had a bottle of red wine a few months ago that smelt very distinctively like 1980s Star Wars toys! (Perhaps there were other toys of the era that smelled the same, but after some initial difficulty in placing this slightly unwelcome, somewhat solvent-like smell, it was Star Wars figures that came to my mind.)
And the smell appeared to be in addition to all the other smells and tastes you might expect from red wine: so it tasted like a red wine, and smelled like a red wine, and it was actually quite nice... and it smelled of Star Wars figures as well, on top. That bit wasn't so nice, but it was so unusual that I could somehow separate it in my mind. Like I was drinking wine with a Star Ways toy under my nose, or something like that. It was a very strange experience.
Anyway, perhaps this is the same chemical, or one related.
After a couple of glasses the smell mostly dissipated.
