2 hours before serving? Depending on the room temperature would that not possibly raise the serving temperature above 18C? Should we not just leave the decanted wine in t he decanter in the room till it nears 18C? Or there abouts.

This is excellent. Keeping the bottle upright, cleaning off the top of the cork with a moist cloth, uncorking with the "ScrewPull", and decanting over one minute with a thin 8" stream are all "right on". I always use an "Ah So" device to help get the old cork out in one piece. We have a substantial stock of 1970 Bordeaux. Our 40 year old wines will be "half" held in the decanter with a nitrogen blast for the next day. The wine holds well that long and may be more interesting.

Excellent - very practical example of how to decant old wine. Now I just need a few bottles that are 50 years or older!

@Neutrinoghost: Obviously you have never drank wine that has been unprepared. Wine is not like drinking a soda. The enjoyment of wine can be enhanced by patience.

@Neutrinoghost People who don't want to drink grit.

Damn it's just fermented grapes, open the bottle, stick the end in your mouth and swallow. Who made these stupid rules?

Wrong!!! Many wrong things in the procedure! Ignore.

I like to decant a case of Victoria Bitter into my mouth.
I usually just open a bottle and drink it from the bottle :(
