Or Not To Decant
When you taste a wine, think about the middle of your mouth (the mid-palate). Are you registering good stuff there? If not, maybe decant. If you are, definitely don’t. The wine is already ready. It may get better, but don’t speed up the process to the end game. Enjoy the travels along the way. Just opening the bottle, you’ve already charged the bottle with a burst of oxygen. So practice a little restraint and reap the benefits my friend. You’re welcome.
