A View into Wine Flavors

Here's an innovative display, illustrating taste for wines. I've long been curious with challenges like this (originally challenging myself to come up with a *useful* description method for beads).

I found comparing Riesling to Sauvignon Blanc (and seeing the added stress on "herb") enlightening (while "crisp" is the same).

What is the relationship between wine varieties and flavor components? This visualization attempts to show the strength of these relationships. I culled descriptive flavor words from over 5,000 published wine tasting notes written between 1995-2000 in a major Australian wine magazine.
