Really? I'm sorry but that is an uninformed and absurd blanket statement to make. Decanting the 04 Amon Ra is necessary because of the youth and size of the wine as you state in the beginning of this video. Thankfully there are still many wines out there not made in the prevailing style of ultra-ripe grapes, high alcohol, low acid simplicity that wine lovers may enjoy slowly over a lingering meal while enjoying the gradual evolution of what's in the bottle without decanting.

For going to restaurants, or picnics, or parties. Would allow one to open the wine beforehand, but have a leakproof top one could put on at the last minute for travelling. This may be a place for high-quality plastic or maybe stainless (mother and child reunion, for those naked wines), for safety's sake. (Wonder how the restaurants would handle corking fees in this situation. Maybe you could let the wine steward take the top off? Idea: the Ronco Porto-decanter.

This last ones being so heavy in tannins due to its grapes that are exposed to the altitude, breezes of the Andes and specially the scorching desert heat. Decanting in the bottle is my favorite for a couple of hours and really you can taste the fruityness in the wine. It really does a difference with young South American.
