My coworker hosted a wine tasting with a group including me. For the first wine, we came up with specific notes like lychee and raspberry. Even though I wet the tip of my nose with the red wine, I couldn't smell both lychee and raspberry, only lychee or raspberry. The hosting coworker wrote down many notes for their sommelier class.

For the second wine, the hosting coworker remarked, to controversy and my surprise, that once you discern a category of notes, you're just selecting an instance for effect. For example, you discern stone fruit, so you could just select fresh peaches or baked apricots to evoke varying impressions.

Previously, my friend joked to me that “you'd come up with some obscure tasting note, like passion fruit pulp or something”. And I objected/declared “no, subtlety bends toward classism!”

Like good for you, you have a special nose, or more likely the money and time, to distinguish between fresh peaches and baked apricots before going nose blind. Get bent. I can't; I bet most people can't; I'm still trying to not wet the tip of my nose while huffing wine.
