Has anyone created or is anyone aware of a detailed flavor and aroma wheel/chart for apples? Similar to what is used for coffee, tea, wine, beer, and honey.

I have seen matrices for wine grapes and apples.

Google pulled up this one…
It seems fairly complete to me, lots of the more unusual flavors you can get in some apples are there.

Thanks, @scottfsmith ! This one looks a bit generalized? But it could work, as could many of the others. I think having one will help me maintain a more consistent method for my tasting notes, but it would be nice if there was a “standard” one out there that I knew others were using!
Edit: For example - using the above chart, I don’t know where I would sort the “malt and olives” flavor you can get from Frostbite. Lactic, maybe?

I’ve yet to have a Frostbite hang on the tree until ripeness. So, someday perhaps.
