Hey y'all, looking for a quick sanity check for decanting the bottles I'm opening tonight with a couple friends. Have 2 bottles of Dunn Howell Mountain for 2014 and 2004. I've been wanting to try Dunn for a while now and won an auction for the 2004, then grabbed the 2014 later for a fun comparison. And I've had my eye on Pax for a while too and got some of the most recent vintage to put away, and wanted to try something young but with a little more time in bottle.

I'm thinking of decanting the 2014 first for 4-6 hours and rebottling, then about an hour or two before friends arrive, opening the 2004. Thinking we'll drink the 2004 first with some side by side of the 2014 and then drink the Pax later on. Let me know if this makes sense, the 2004 is the oldest I've owned so want to try to give it its best showing. I stood both bottles up last night to let the sediment settle.

I'll be sure to circle back later tonight or tomorrow and throw some tasting notes. Excited for this.
