How to Decant Wine - Old Bordeaux

How to Decant Wine. Old Bordeaux.

Older wines benefit from being decanted because when you bring oxygen to your wine it helps to bring out the flavor. Today we review an old Bordeaux wine, the Chateau Simard 1995 Saint Emilion. Notice the choices available when choosing a decanter as you watch the Classic Wines Minute video with Brian Freedman.

This video sucks... or at least change the title. It doesn't teach anything about decanting old Bordeauxs. He says nothing about sediment. And did you see the way he poured that wine? It's atrocious! You don't splash an old wine like that into the decanter, and then swirl it around so hard, unless you want it to turn to vinegar in the next fifteen or twenty minutes. Then what does he do... he pours it out into a bucket. How many ways can someone disrespect a wine.

You didn't touch base on decanting to keep sediment out. With a truly old bordeaux, THAT is the reason to decante a bottle. Don't give those old wines too much air or they'll disappear on the nose and pallet before you're done drinking it.

You can drink the dredges from Burgundy but the dredges of Bordeaux is nasty stuff.

This video really did NOT explain how to decant a wine.  Does this guy just like to see himself on video or is he an actual sommelier?

Absolute rubbish. You should study up on the how/why before you attempt to teach others.

I opened an old bottle of Riuniti and I found it tasted like cheesed feet, caramel farts. and breast milk.

Also, you don't tip the botle over so quickly and let it gulp air. I serve wine every day in a fine restaurant. Who is this guy?
