Step 3Taste the wine with your nose

     
  • Take the glass and swirl the wine around a bit while holding it a little away from your nose. This helps to increase the amount of scent that is available for your nose to smell.

     

  • Move the glass under your nose and inhale deeply through your nose, then move it away from your face while you think about it. This will allow you to judge the "nose" of the wine, without being overwhelmed by the most dominant of the available aromas.

At this point, you may be able to smell fruit or yeast, grass or earth in the wine. You may be able to smell quite a lot, or not very much at all. Again, experience will lead you to expect certain things from the wine by what you smell in it.
