I’ve always been of the opinion (and maybe I’m in the minority on this one), but when tasting in a group, it’s best to say very little about what you taste as it relates to your overall opinion of a wine. To be totally brutally, I actually have very little respect for other people’s opinions.
How arrogant does that sound!?!?
I can of course see how you would think that is quite an egotistical statement, but I’m going to propose that you start thinking the same way as me (if you don’t already).
Let me give you an example of what I’m talking about.

March 11, 2011
I read this quote recently from Aldo Sohm, Sommelier at Le Bernardin and thought you might find it interesting:
“A winemaker I know once did a test to see how plastic corks affect a wines flavor. He filled empty wine bottles with water, put plastic corks in them and stored them in the cellar. After 6 months, certain bottles tasted like a Barbie doll – and those were the best ones!”
