  Comments:
Best not to have "taste" as a lead gloss for different senses.
Looking at example sentences, I don't think "endure" fits very well.

  Comments:
overlapping glosses
sense 2: to relish (work of art, victory etc)
sense 3: to taste (hardship, failure, love)
I think sense 3 carries the nuance of 'for the first time'
