Decanting an 89 Mount Mary

Hello all,

Going to a blind tasting in a few days and need your help in determining how long I should decant the Mount Mary. The wines are poured back in the bottle and bagged. Do any of you think it might show well without decanting? There are approximately 8 of us so the wine won't sit in the glass for too long:)

Cheers,

Francois

Mount Mary have recently done a big vertical tasting of all their wines.

As this wasn't a particularly brilliant year, I'd be inclined to decant it for maybe an hour or less before putting it back into the bottle to take along.

Thanks for the link Kris. I got a bit gunshy after reading the info on the 89 so I brought a 99 Moss Wood instead and it showed very well.

Cheers,
