I believe the answer is:

taste

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sample' is the definition.
(I know that sample can be written as taste)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "Relish or discrimination" , "style" , "One of the senses" , "Discrimination - a sense" , "Preference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
