About to open a 1970

[keytohwy]

I'm about to crack open a bottle of 70. I want to serve this to friends, if possible, at it's finest.

What do you all recommend as a good benchmark time for decanting? Again, I'd like to decant in advance, and serve the best port I can.

Thanks in advance,

first question would be which port house are you opening?

uncle tom recommends what seems like 22 hours for a less spirity taste.

if you like the spiciness you might want to aim for 5-6 hours decanting.

Maybe this...

22 hours or so before consumption, open the bottle and immediately pour half into a 375 and seal that bottle. A few hours before serving, decant the 375 bottle and serve them both side by side.

Thoughts?

sounds like a great experiment =)

Keep the short-decant decanter cool.
