Why is wine smelled?

Eighty percent of our taste is by what we smell through our nose. Thus, getting a major aroma by smelling allows one to focus on that part of the wine. I always swirl and smell 2 or 3 times. No more than 5 seconds each. The final time, I swirl and smell, and a couple of seconds later, taste.
