Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  lexical: Certainly, 'palate' is preferable to mouth. It could be argued that 'attack on the palate' is tautological because 'attack' is defined as the first impression of the wine on the palate, so the palate is understood, as your first two examples show.
