Most don't need decanting. Some do, and the only way to be sure is to taste the wine first. If it seems a little harsh or astringent, decanting will "open it up" -- soften it and make it smoother. The 2012 Irancy Palotte was really too young to open this year. It needs 3 or 4 more years in the bottle -- and even then, decanting it might not be a bad idea.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-18554407567417340732015-01-13T14:31:26.122+01:002015-01-13T14:31:26.122+01:00Hi Martine, I had that thought/memory too.Hi Martine, I had that thought/memory too.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-69372797724682868922015-01-13T14:17:02.817+01:002015-01-13T14:17:02.817+01:00The scene in your previous post reminds me of us v...The scene in your previous post reminds me of us visiting Jean-No's 'cave' and the tasting and buying we did - thanks to you and Walt - in 2009 and 2010.

What is the need for doing that, Ken? I remember our selling a bottle of some super expensive wine (like $350!) at a fancy-schmancy restaurant I worked at, and the waiter went through a whole rigamarole of having a candle there, and slowly pouring the wine from the bottle into the decanter, using the wine to give extra light to see the wine as it passed through the neck of the bottle. Can you explain?Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.com
