Do I have no nose for nose?

[wondersofwine]

quijote, I more often detect clove, pepper or cardamon scents in red wines such as shiraz, or burgundies. However, that is not to say that they were not present in the Lindeman's chardonnay. To some extent the descriptors are subjective and also, some people have a more sensitive sense of smell (to be redundant). My mother can pick up smells (on people or in the household, etc.--she isn't into wines in a major way) that I can't because of her ultrasensitive nose.
