I wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with your capacity to verbalize your experience with music. We are better trained to describe vocal intonations and words than describing smells and tastes. Professionals who invest a lot of time and effort into taste and smell (think chefs and perfumers) are able to very precisely recall details.
