2012 Fattoria Galardi Terra di Lavoro

From Magnum.
Gave a too strong decant and the wine completely faded.
Opened 30min before drinking, it had decent fruits but structure was still a tight (maybe 91 at the time).
I decide to put in decanter but at the end we only start drinking 2h later and the wine completely flatten (fruits/tannins mostly gone) 85 at the time.
Just PnP and let it open in the bottle.
In this case, it is a decent wine. I wouldn't rate higher as although tannins and fruits were nicely done, there is not much in tertiary and considering how fast it faded I don't see any upside potential for further ageeing.

2005 Domaine de la Mordorée Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de la Reine des Bois

Not unpleasant st this stage but unbalanced and at or past peak
Sweet dark fruits, spices, some tertiary aromas ( wet forest floor)
Overall it gives a feeling of declining fruits while the tannins feels harsh and green with medium acidity. it is only saved by some sweetness but is definitely declining before reaching any kind of complexity.
Decanting: none to really light, it improves in the first 15min in the glass but then fruits quickly fade.
Ageing: as fast as possible. Tannins is so way ahead to be resolved while fruits is close to gone.
