ORIGINAL: smaragd Back to my original question, sort of, I'm wondering if any of you who drink older whites find that they are closed at first and need some oxygen. Decanting older whites has never been recommended to me, and in my experience, the 14-15 year old whites I've had didn't present themselves as shut down immediately after opening. Most whites don't really need decanting, but they might benefit from it. Chateau Musar and oxidative whites such as those from Jura or classicist Rioja (R. Lopez de Heredia and Ygay Gran Reserva) really call for a bit of air in a decanter. Coulee de Serrant also quote:
