More than simply tasting, it's also about our secret indulgences that fill us with joy and shame in equal measure. For those who really know, being an epicurean means by far beyond simply spotting famous restaurants, an education both of your smelling than your palate. The way you care and nurture your body self, how you dress to celebrate events, who you dare to spoil, ... it's a never ending curve that requires adequate manners! Some call it 'Etiquette'. An art, a lifestyle. T hey’re still there in the wine, right next to the chocolate and plums. But to be perfectly correct about it, these flavors are actually aromas that you
taste, not through tongue contact, but by inhaling them up an interior nasal passage in the back of your mouth called the retronasal passage.
Until you cut your nose in on the action, that’s all you can taste in the wine — those three sensations of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness and a general impression of weight and texture.When you draw in air across the wine in your mouth, you are vaporizing the aromas just as you did when you swirled the wine in your glass. There’s a method to this madness. |
