Wine connoisseurs prefer decanting both young and old wines. For old wines, decanting is a sign of respect, for young wines a sign of confidence. Decanting old wines just before serving ensures that the color and purity are not tainted by a deposit that may have formed during storage. Decanting young wines several hours before serving gives the wine the opportunity to develop its bouquet, to achieve that degree of maturity that is otherwise achieved only by years of storage..
