Tasting is partly natural palate and partly an educational process IMHO. It will start out slowly with vague generalizations such as "dark fruits", "berries," "citrus" "spices" etc. Maybe after more practice you will be detecting more specific aromas and flavors such as "plum," "blackberries," "raspberry"
"coffee" "chocolate" "nutmeg" "white pepper"
"clove" "lemon" "grapefruit" etc. Also minerals such as stone, flint, and vegetation such as "grass" "asparagus" "green pepper". Andrea Immer's book "Great Wines Made Simple" might help with tastings. There are many others available also such as the Windows on the World Complete Wine Course. I still find that some wines speak to me clearly in the aroma and taste and some seem muted or nondescriptive.
