DECANTING MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Decanting is Simple, Useful and Makes for a Beautiful Presentation:
1. With red wines, using the decanter helps separate the sediment from the wine.
Especially with mature wines, use a slow, careful pour when transferring from
the bottle to the decanter.
2. Decanting opens up the bouquet, especially in big red wines, young or old.
With young wines, really splash it as you transfer from the bottle, to open the
bouquet.
3. Wait 10 – 15 minutes after decanting to allow the flavor of the wine to be
enhanced by its exposure to air.
4. Decanters add a nice touch to a fine dining table.
