Yes the palate is fickle and it's perceptions change depending on what other flavors and aromas are around. A winemaker buddy of mine, early in his career, was freaking out after a big dinner party at which he was debuting his first cabernet. A world renowned wine consultant was in attendance and everybody but the expert was making funny faces tasting the wine. What was unique about the wine expert's palate? He was the only one of the guests who hadn't sampled the rhubarb pie! Evidently the oxalic acid in rhubarb reacts with the tannins in red wine in a very nasty way.

I think I tried a shiraz/syrah and it was pretty decent and economical.But you are right about how wines can change once opened, and sometimes, it may be what we eat that makes them better or worse or the mood, temperature or whatever. But it's quite a fun mystery. Cheers, lisa Hi, I actually had Rex Goliath before and yes, I am a lady and yes, I like that label…lol.
