1998 Tedeschi Amarone della Valpolicella

[sedhed]

Thanks. I'll try that on my next wine. I'm going to have a 1993 CdP Beaucastel this week end.
The only problem I see is that every time I have a "heavy weight" Rhone it takes about three hours air time to my taste to hit it's peak. I noticed that with the above producer and a 1990
Guigal Hermitage we have had three times over the last two and a half years. We only have two left and it's our favorite Rhone so far.
I have heard others say that you could spoil an aged wine by decanting it because of the over exposure to oxygen. Maybe the big Rhones are the exceptions to the rule?
