Decanting Wine

Daryl decants a fabulous 16 year-old bottle of wine

Decanting started hundreds of years ago back when a lot of wines had sediments
Decanting is also a good way to help a wine to breathe, thereby releasing its aromas
If decanting to separate sediments, keep the bottle standing upright for 24 hours before decanting it
