https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-tasting-junk-science-analysis https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-ta... All of the peer reviewed articles linked suggest that "wine tasting experts" can't differentiate or produce any sort of reliable results, or detect flavors consistently.

Except that's not what the article says, and it explicitly notes some of the scientifically identified chemicals involved in producing certain flavors. "Scores aren't meaningful, past a certain baseline" seems pretty well supported. "Context plays a statistically discernable role in our perception of taste" seems pretty well supported. "Wine experts can't tell any wine from any other" is nonsense and while that's an exaggeration it does seem like you're treading closer to that position than can be supported.
