All 5 senses actually aid in your tasting ability. Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.
Checklist for Tasting
Try doing the following exercise with a square of
chocolate:
1. Look at it: what do you see? Colour? Shine?
Texture? Blooming or discolouration?
2. Touch it: what do you feel? How does the broken
surface look: smooth or rough and bubbly?
Sticky?
3. Listen to it: what do you hear as you snap a
square in half?
4. Smell it: what do you find?
5. Taste it: analyse only the texture. Notice its effect
on your tongue. How does it feel in your mouth?

If you formally study wine, I think you will find that you can refine your sense of taste and become sensitive to a wider range of flavors and sense. I.e. you can learn to become a better taster. I think we all have the ability (more or less) to "taste" (except for the impaired) but we do not spend much time developing it.
Wine, at first, tastes like, um, "wine", but over time you can learn to distinguish different grapes, different flavors, acidity, tannins, sweetness, alcohol content, bitterness, etc. and the balance between them.
In the end, it is like turning on a new sense. This analogy may sound strange, but it is like teaching your eyes to go from black and white to color.

Appart from medical conditions, smoking can permanently affect your ability to smell and taste.

As you age, you lose the ability to distinguish different tastes, and many things seem bland. Also, when you're sick, or have a cold/ sinus infection you won't be able to taste properly.

Sinus trouble seriously hinders my sense of taste and smell. Obviously having a horrible cold doesn't help much either.
If the food you are eating is too hot you don't seem to taste very much at all.

Smoking or having a reduced sense of smell. Eating something which has a lot of fake flavours and then eating something normal. I defy anyone to eat some bacon supernoodles and then be able to taste potato.

Smoking big time. Also you sense of smell has a big effect on how you taste things.
