I don't know if it actually tastes different. I think your mind just thinks it's different, like you can't distinguish the flavor from the temperature.
It's like hot soup and cold soup. Essentially they are the same, but we like it better when it's hot.
In short: We mistake sensation for actually flavor.

You evaporate a lot of the chlorine when you heat it. That changes the taste.
Also, if you take it hot from the tap, it will contain much of the sediment that collects in hot water heaters like heavy metals etc.
That is why you should never cook or drink hot water from a tap. Just wash with it.

Because it's been sitting in your hot water heater collecting minerals. Cold water doesn't go through the hot water heater!

Mineral leach? warmth expands, chilly contracts.

are you refering to boiled water thats still warm or water that just been warmed and not boiled?
if its the first one, different chemicals such as calcium and flourine have been added to the water to give it the taste, when the water has been boiled these chemicals have evaporated with steam and may have reacted to make other chemicals such as calcium hydroxide. so there will be limited taste in this water then

Raising the temperature of water causes disolved solids to come out of suspension, thus increasing the flavor of, chiefly, calcium.

Most of the gas (CO2, Oxygen etc) bubbles away as it is heated and certain minerals will also come out of solution.
