In this episode of At Cellar Door, Frantz explains the finer points of decanting: why to do it, when to do it, how to do it and more. She uses a 1996 Chateau Belgrave from the Haut-Médoc to illustrate the importance of decanting, explaining how to know whether a wine has been cellared properly and how to store your wine, because there's no sense in crying over spoiled Bordeaux.
