How long would you decant 05 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate Le Coste tonight? I’ll be drinking this by 8pm central time tonight. Any thoughts?
I’d either start now (2:30pm CST) or don’t decant at all. I’d worry about a 1-2 hour decant. No primary fruit, maybe the wine closes up.
I would have opened this morning. Follow Peter’s advice.
Just opened opened and took a test sip & sniiff. Nose showing restrained aromas of violets and palate is zen like, silky, pure, gorgeous. Outside of the nose it seems pretty ready. I got rid of some sediment and may just pour back into btl and put cork back in.

Craig, I had this a couple months back. I think I just read you opened it already. I would do just what you did. Decant got sediment then back in the bottle It opened up just being in the bottle over 2-3 hours. I would not formally decant it, just let it open. Enjoy!
I had this bottle 2 months ago. It was great when tasted right after it was opened, after 7 hours decanting, and then on day 2. So, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
