re: Proof: All Wine Tastes the Same

Wines breath once opened so it doesn't surprise me that experts can't tell that they are drinking the same wine over the course of the tasting when its from the same bottle.

if they have such good palates as to describe a wine as having "violets, mocha, and cloves [that] are layered into the rich, sumptuous finish," shouldn't they be able to tell that they're drinking the same wine? it's not going to breathe and oxidize that much over the course of a 20 minute tasting that it tastes like a different wine.
