Depends on the laziness factor [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I will decant a wine that we believe to be too closed if I'm with a bunch of wine enthusiats (and if I don't they would insist on it anyways).

If I'm just by myself the laziness factor ("oh I'll just let it open up in the glass" gig) or at dinner with clients and business is the focus, I leave it in the bottle.

I'm trying to change my ways. I've actually purchased now single service decanters (they are really "cute") so that I will not be so lazy to wash the larger decanter....
