Fascinating. I don't know much about wine, but I've noticed that my own appreciation of the same type of wine will vary greatly. Sometimes it seems highly dependent on what I was doing earlier in the day and what I've recently eaten. If I was cleaning, for example, perhaps some trace residue of ammonia on my hands might interfere with the taste/smell. Similarly, if I had spicy food, an otherwise enjoyable red might taste strange to me. And of course, there's a fair bit of variability between bottles for various reasons, making the whole process even more uncertain.
