Tons like note's good style (5)

I believe the answer is:

taste

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

'good style' is the definition.
'taste' can be an answer for 'style' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'good' bit.

'tons like note's' is the wordplay.
'tons' becomes 't'.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'note' becomes 'te' (musical note).
't'+'as'+'te'='TASTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taste that I've seen before include "A sense; briefly sample" , "Judgment" , "choice" , "Partake of" , "Preference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
