mike e mailed me after the last post with a wonderfully considered response. in sum, we should not let ourselves be overwhelmed by the "fruitbomb" of a younger wine. wines evolve with age be they red or white. part of this evolution is unique secondary aromas. decanting older wines- the same as giving them over night open- allows many of these to dissipate. i am going to decant my next bottle of white just as we now do with nearly all the red we drink.
thank you for the exceptional response mike.
