My in laws are wine lovers and we visit them once or twice a year. About 2000 or so they bought several cases of very good Bordeaux wines and we would have several bottles over the holidays. My father-in-law likes to keeo a journal regarding very good wines, so the only requirement was that we had to fill in tasting notes. We would discuss our thoughts about a wine, and at the end of dinner, I would write our consensus opinions. It was interesting to me that our opinions were quite consistent from year to year. Certainly not a blind tasting, and we typically paid more attention to the good stuff than the vin ordinaire that was the second and third bottles of the night, but I always felt like I could tell differences and preferences pretty clearly.
There certainly was some expensive stuff that I didn't care for very much, but almost all of the bottles had a distinct character.
