Notes

1. Acetic Acid was seen on an 8.7k glass, but it could be a Primary rather than Secondary taste. Only Chemicals were on the lower glasses.
   1. I also saw only chemicals (5773 glass) and acetic acid(6455 and 9044 glasses), but its possible acetic acid is the middle flavour and we're missing the top - Spicy
2. The teir 2 flavors didn't show up on these on my table, so pulled them from the T3 wiki-Tedra

Reading The Flavor Chart

Vintage indicates how old the wine was when the flavor first appeared in the wine.

• If a wine contains flavors that have not developed at the wine's current vintage age, those flavors will not be detectable when the wine is tasted.
• If no flavors are detectable, a wine will report as Thin and not give tasting checks for quality.
• As the wine ages and flavors come in, the wine will stop being Thin.

Note: It is the age on the Secondary Taste that brings the flavor in, not the Taste Category or Primary Taste.

For example:

• Bell Pepper (0) and Green Beans (1) are both Vegetable/Freshness flavors.
• If a wine only has the Green Beans flavor in it, it will report as Thin until it is 1 vintage old (not giving the Vegetable or Freshness flavors).
• Bell Pepper, on the other hand, will show Vegetable, Freshness, and Bell Pepper flavors on different glasses starting at 0 vintages old.
