I would agree that most nectarines are tastier than peaches, however there are some exceptional peaches that are every bit as good as if not better than the best nectarines! Here is a great example, June Pride peach, very low fuzz, deep dark red color, more fragrant than any nectarine I grow, and most importantly, very intense peach/ nectarine flavor! This peach is a cross of O Henery and June Lady clingstone and is the best fruit I grow in front of Flavor Supreme, Flavor King, Flavortop, and Arctic Glo nectarines. It is somewhat of a secret over here and is never mentioned, but the flavor is intensely sweet and rich!
The dark red ones are on Lovell root and severely water deprived, the fruit on right is on Nemeguard root and has more water but still not a lot. Brix 27, and 25 respectively, really awesome peaches, worthy of challenging any nectarine!!
