The article says nothing about the previous experience of the participants. I've been led to understand that many wine critics have highly consistent palates, able to give the same score to a wine within a couple of points even under blind taste tests. On the other hand, the inter-rater reliability is relatively low. I would be interested to see how professional raters compare on similar studies to the ones presented.

- Blarat 16y agowell during a wine tasting competition in sweden the winner managed to not only name all wines, she also managed to say which region AND producer it was. So yes if you make the same test with experts the result would be quite different. And most expensive wines need to mature before you enjoy them, if you uncork them right away it won't be a very pleasant experience.
