Was It Obvious? Tasting Canned Wine Two Ways

Whatever format I receive a wine in, I always taste it in a tasting glass. After all, I mostly receive 750-ml bottles. (No, I don't take swigs from the bottle or employ a straw.) What was full-on astonishing to me was the difference in tasting this wine from my glass versus tasting it from the can. The perceptions were smashingly different. Going forward, I'll definitely be tasting wines packaged in cans both ways.

Lieb Cellars 2013 Sparkling Rosé Reserve

Lieb Cellars 2013 Sparkling Rosé Reserve: Impressively vinous, this pale, peach-colored sparkler is made of two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay. It smells of rose petals, honeydew melon and fuzzy peach skin.
