I believe the answer is:

discernment

'taste' is the definition.
(synonyms)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for discernment that I've seen before include "Clear perception" , "Understanding" , "good judgement's needed here" , "Judgement; acuteness" , "Good judgement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
