No. It is possible to select three different wines that even people with excellent palettes can't really differentiate between, and it is possible with some suggestion to make people believe the same wine is different wines. It is also true that some wine "experts" have terrible palettes.

That is not the same piece of information as "wine experts also can't tell if they're tasting 3 glasses from the same bottle".

I'm referring to this paper quote in the wikipedia article:

They literally fed the same judges the same wine in multiple glasses and got different scores.
